Problems with SketchUp 2024 NOT exporting colored lines

[lara.hawkins10]

Continuing the discussion from Sketchup 2024 exporting to PDF doesn't export colored lines:

I’ve been having the exact same problem!! Has someone been able to come up with a solution??

@vancient

Hello,
I am having an issue where whenever I export a pdf - all the lines are black.
I have set all my lines to be colored by material, but whenever I export it - the result is: all lines are black.
Line colors are working in sketchup and I can see them properly, just when i export it messes it up. If I export it to a .jpg or .png, it works properly - however, I need a pdf of it to work in illustrator.
I could really use all the help since I’m coming up on a deadline I don’t know what else to try to have this to work.

I am using SketchUp Studio 2024; MacOS Sonoma 14.3.1

I’m literally experiencing the same problem, I use adobe illustrator and need a pdf for the same function! Has anyone been able to find a solution to this?

I just did a quick test with a cube of which I coloured the edges in red and then exported as 2D pdf.

I got no problem, the edges are red in the pdf.

This is with 2024 on Mac running with Ventura.

Can you post your file or at least the few buildings that are shown with coloured edges?

Thank you @jean_lemire_1 for your help!!

I was following this YouTube video to learn how to do an axonometric drawing using SketchUp & Illustrator… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDCdl7yW_iM&t=216s
… if that helps!

I’ve attached the file as well

I loaded your model in SU 2022 and exported a 2D pdf. The colours are shown as in the model.

I did the same with SU 2024 and the colours also shown. No problem.
