        I trick for color by profile. Not very smooth, but if you have to tools it works nice.

        • Work as normal in SketchUp
        • Drop views into Layout
        • Export from Layout as vector PDF
        • Import into Adobe Illustrator
        • Select "Final all lines with same width"
        • You can now isolate them and color or alter as desired

        note: If you have depth cue turned on in SketchUp this won't work as line widths will not all be the same.

                  Hi Everyone,

                  Adding the management layer
                  Draw an edge by layer, with a color of your choice or the color of the active layer.
                  Recolor the edges by filtering by layer, with a color of your choice or the color of the active layer.

                              A gotta have script and just super for tracing over scan'd drawings and such.
                              Thank you so very much. 😍

                              Note that if one selects a color visually from materials it will be the default for the line tool color.

                              Works well especially as on can sample on screen colors too this way for repeats.

                              Cheers 😄

                                Is there anything special about the installation. I can't see the plugin in SU . I unpacked to plugins and it created a folder and a rb file ChrisP_ColorEdge_EN. Anything else? I would be very happy when I could draw dotted lines.

                                      Shade by 3 colors dosn't work for me 😞 Instead, it gives me the dialog, and when I click ok, NOTHING HAPPENS! 😠

                                        Yes,
                                        I don´t understand the tool neither. Use it for lines, enough for me. Sorry.
                                        I have to investigate though I have the feeling that it is not tunned yet or updated.

                                          Hi,
                                          This tool allows to colorize the edges on a same plane by a mixture of two basic colors depending on the angle and possibly a second plane and a third color
