    I see it makes iso/axo views... I was also thinking about how I might incorporate that in CADup...

      Maybe based on the component/group axes or world axes - as two options. Because You can't be sure what are the front/back/right and etc. for a given component.

        This is a very nice addition.

        I have tried a couple of files, the first quite simple worked well.

        The second caused the program to get into a loop where I had to force quit SU. I am on a Mac.

        The file I had trouble with is proprietary so I cannot post it but would be willing to send it to you.

        I created Dilbertville, sorry about that...

            Here's v1.1 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=309485#p309485
            A Group OR an Instance can now be processed.
            Edges within any Groups/Instances nested within the Selected Object are now reproduced on appropriate layers.
            Edges that are hidden/smooth/soft in the Selected Object are now reproduced on the HIDN layer.
            Spacing of Views etc has been improved.
            Makes a trial version of a SECT-BOTTOM only - for feedback purposes...
            Makes a trial version of a AXO-SW only - for feedback purposes...SECT+AXO.PNG This is 'flat' example.

                Please retry... BUT this time move the component/group in question so that it is well out of the same space as the CADup versions... i.e. NOT near the origin... I suspect that there's 'interference' between the original and the copy...
                I can perhaps make this a v8 only app and hide the rest of the model...
                The idea is you have an instance off to one side and then it makes the 2d parts...
                Because it uses raytests and project_to_plane etc it can get confused...
                This is still in beta - thanks for the report...

                    It is intended to CAD up components. A 'whole house' is going to be veeeery data intensive ???
                    Perhaps the outer 'shell' will be OK but all of the internals that have to be inspected and discounted ????
                    Even if 'hidden/off-layer!
                    Export what you want to CAD up [select, right-click, save_as] and process that.
                    There will be a new version out later today - see how that does... πŸ€“

                      Morning TIG!

                      Sound like you have a busy day!

                      I am watching this space with interest as it has been suggested that postgrad students use SU for small design jobs rather than AutoCAD Inventor which is way over the top for most of their needs. Also, the free version od SU is, afterall, free. We have to watch our pennies these days, and even a student copy of Inventor is around Β£300.

                      Regards,
                      Bob

                          Great job, hope you can run stably!

                          Tested on a cube, which made a hole in the left side, right side view of the hole he showed too;)

                          Thank you.

                            Container now made into a Component for easier export to SKP.
                            Please read the notes with the download link... there have been changes...
                            All SECTion and AXOnonmetric views have been added.
                            Arrangement of the 'parts' has been adjusted and the use of the original selected object has be modified to minimize potential 'clashes'.
                            Default file/layer name of '2CAD' now becomes 'SKAD'.

                            Feedback please...............

                              Tip:-
                              The 6 SECTions are always cut at the center of the selected object's bounding-box.
                              If you want to make the sections in a different location then group the main component with between 1 and 6 guide-points [number depends on how many directions you want to slide the 'center'] - each suitably located to change the then combined bounding-box so that its center is now where you want the SECTion cuts to be placed [if your object us already a group you can add temporary guide-points to that]...

                                You can not even imagine the plugin is useful for furniture design.

                                  When exporting to .DWG, all the lines are exported in the "0" layer without any sorting.. So I can't re-use efficiently this file in Autocad. Do I miss something?

                                    Exporting a 2D file makes everything on one layer and ignores arcs etc.
                                    Do it as 3D and it should export properly.

                                        It's still at an early stage... next will be an interface to let you choose which views to export and several other options.. and perhaps auto-export to CAD format... Watch out for developments...
