Exporting files

Yellowbus

Hello there, i am Pieter living and working in Holland and addicted to sketchup.

As a technical adviser for our mercedes rv club i draw wiring diagrams from the electrical installations in rv's. Also i make detailed drawings from engine en body parts. you can find some of them in the warehouse under L409 (Yellowbuscompany).

I encounter a problem when placing my files in our forum, they are to fuzzy our dizzy.

I export a sketchup file to a "png" picture and whit Imageshack i load them up to our forum site.

In fact i already accepted this until one of the pictures showed of very nice and sharp. our moderator has no idea what might cours this differnce. Also the dutch SU forum has no useble tips our ideas.

Is there in the wide wide SU community someONE who has an idea.
Joyfull greetings Pieter.

Hi Pieter,

What forum software are you using?

Yellowbus

I have send a message to our moderator to get the correct data.

Rich,
De Software used for de website and forum is custum made by a Dutch firm called Club Webware, http://www.clubwebware.nl.
This is a administration program for sportsclubs ect. Originally there is no forum attached to this software so they made it special for us.

Greetings Pieter

I think you need to contact the developer since it's not something we use here?

Unless another member has experience with it.

Pieter,

What image size and other options are you using when exporting to PNG? The fuzziness might be the result of exporting a screen resolution image with antialiasing on. If you already are using onscreen antialiasing (Window menu>Preferences>OpenGL) this might lead to increased fuzziness. The image export options are hidden behind the Options button on the Export 2D Image dialog box.

To export images for online viewing, the best option would be to export from SU at a larger format than needed with no antialiasing, and then to downsample the image in an image editor to exactly the size that it will be displayed on the webpage. Image editors do much better antialiasing when downsampling than what SU is capable of.
