SVG file Import (importing)

xavier9

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.

Hi -

Has anyone used this scrip in SU8 yet?

I get the following error when I try to import:

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

Go into Inskcape's preferences
Under "Tools" select "SVG output"
Under "Path data" - uncheck "Allow relative coordinates"
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?
Thank you.

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.
