        Hello, I'm french, new here and my english is bad...

        I've seen that bezier.rb is missing in the zip file.
        I've found it on the Didier Bur's site.
        I could open just a few svg files, but the others
        can be converted to SIMPLE svg files with Inkscape.
        It works for me.

          Yes, I forgot to include bezier.rb in the .zip file, I have added it to the .zip. I do have it in my plugins folder. Can you post an example svg file that you were successful in importing?

              Now, a not importable svg opened with Inkscape and saved as "simple svg"

              It rocks!

              Xavier


              the two versions are included

                Hm...

                "Simple svg" is a french translation for "Plain svg"

                So, in Inkscape, choose "Save as Plain svg" to have a file you can open in SU.

                  Ah yes, it now works. I have Inskscape installed, but I missed the "Save as Plain SVG" Option.

                  Thank you, Xavier.

                          Hello. I am a newbie and I speak Russian. Translation of Google. I have a problem. When you import an SVG, I receive an error:

                          Error (in script) while reading “D:\Libelle_3-view-SIMPLE.svg”:
                          Exception parsing

                          How to solve this problem?
                          Regards Max.

                            Has anyone used this scrip in SU8 yet?

                              Hi danbig,
                              You need to open your SVG file with inkscape.

                              1. Go into Inskcape's preferences
                              2. Under "Tools" select "SVG output"
                              3. Under "Path data" - uncheck "Allow relative coordinates"
                              4. Right below that - check "Force repeat commands"

                              Be sure to save the new preferences by hitting the little triangle-in-a-box button in the top right corner of the preferences window.

                              Once you do that, you can save Plain SVG files and import them successfully into Sketchup for further manipulation.

                                Where I can find this SVG importer ? Is it possible to be posted here, on SketchUcation?

                                  http://flightsofideas.net/ seems to be the source of many things SVG...
                                  e.g http://code.google.com/p/sketchup-svg-outline-plugin/downloads/detail?name=sketchup-svg-outlines-plugin-0.99.zip
                                  and for which http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=29481 also applies ?
                                  BUT this http://rhin.crai.archi.fr/rld/plugin_details.php?id=435
                                  etc etc...

                                    I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY IMPORT A PLAIN SVG FILE INTO SKETCHUP MAKE 2014 USING THIS METHOD. IS THERE ANY ADDITIONAL STEPS I NEED? GOAL IS TO INPUT A SVG FILE (THE WORDS "PEACE" "ON" AND 'EARTH" WHICH HAVE BEEN TRACED AND WELDED TOGETHER IN TO THREE INDIVIDUAL SVGS.) OF A WELDED WORD INTO SKETCHUP AND EXTRUDE IT TO MAKE A 3D 'BOX' ABOUT 2" THICK.
