Matt’s method for isolating the section cut should make a big difference for Skalp users so you can vector render the beautiful section graphics Skalp creates!

How to activate Skalp,I buy 2 days ago , another plugin very easy
Some body can help me
Thanks,

Nick,
In SketchUp 2020, you can turn off tags in LayOut. This way you can turn off all tags except the ‘Untagged’ and Skalp tags which results in showing only the section. And you can make a copy of the same view with the tags all turned on and set this view to vector.

Together with the new SketchUp 2020 we released the new Skalp 2020 Beta version for SketchUp 2020.

This new version has some very nice new features:

  • Support SketchUp 2020.
  • Toolbar icon for export to DXF/DWG.
  • Toolbar icon for export to LayOut.
  • Graphical material selector.
  • Paint sections in the model with the new Skalp Paint Tool.
  • You can now use a Skalp material from a Library without importing the complete library.
  • You can now Export Skalp materials from the new Paint Tool directly to a library.
  • SketchUp linestyles are now supported in the forward lines of the Skalp DWG/DXF export.

Also we updated our naming to the new SketchUp naming:

  • ‘By Layer’ is renamed to ‘By Tag’
  • Skalp ‘Tag’ is renamed to ‘Label’.

The new SketchUp feature to hide objects in scenes gave us the opportunity to reduce the use of Skalp tags (layers). We don’t create anymore a new tag (layer) for every scene or sectionplane.

We also changed the default Skalp rule setting to ‘By Tag’ followed by ‘By Object’ for easier use with the new Skalp Paint Tool.

The release is a BETA version! If you find any error, bug or bugsplat please contact us at support@skalp4sketchup.com

You can download this Skalp version from our download page

If your Skalp maintenance isn’t expired you can use this Skalp 2020 version without any cost by using your Skalp activation code. Installing Skalp on multiple SketchUp versions on the same computer count only as one activation! If your maintenance contract has expired, you can still use your license key to activate Skalp. However, you will then be redirected to renew your maintenance contract.

Hi,
Do you have the latest manual or video tutorials for skalp 2021?

Why are my support questions not being answered? Skalp crashes my computer every time I use it

Yeah I am concerned by replies as well. Great tool but…

Hello, I was just wondering if Skalp is ever going to be updated for Sketchup 2022 and OSX M1 Chip. I loved using it but I don’t want to base my future workflow around it if it is no longer being developed. I hope that it is but if not would you as developers please let us know.

many thanks

Hi @Guy I guess it still doesn’t work correctly with Monterey.

And why do you think is doesn’t work correctly with Monterey? I use it every day with Monterey.

man, it hasn’t worked for me straight out the box.

I just can’t select individual elements. It selects the entire ‘plane’ of the section
