SUFractal

Hi,SU Fractal.
I fixed bug about calculating baselines on mac.
This script was aborted on mac with this problem.
This version become to 1.1 .
So "DrawingSection" folder will be created.

Thanks

Beautiful!

Wow, Tak2hata This is truly an amazing plugin. I can't wait to use it. The more I see plugins like this, I keep asking the question why Revit when you can SketchUp? It's plugins like this that will make Trimble proud they are getting a program that gets cooler by each user's contribution. Autodesk could NEVER say that. Great work!

Sir Tak2hata you have contributed very useful plug-ins but this is off topic because i did find your plug-in multi export using the vidro. Could you please make a tutorial on exporting and adding material with vidro. i just don't know how to use the vidro renderer.

Hi TAK2HATA,

first of all thanks a lot for the plugin, it is very very useful. I just have a problem: if I create a section of my drawing and export it, works fine if I open the .skp file, but when I open the the .DXF one it convert it automatically from the metric system to the UK/US units. So in the end I have a drawing that is 25.4 times bigger than the original.

I am using solidedge 2D software and all the drawings I am using are in metric system

any suggestion?

thanks

After few searching i found how to install this plug in.

Just in case, i´ld like to share with you one thing. After i install it, it didn´t work, but i found that if you have a number of complex objects, specially with hidden informations, probably it wont give you the results you expect.
Try to clean your drawing first and try again.

It was a good way to rethink a way to make a clean project.

Have a nice day!

Hi,Paolo.
I update this plugin in Jun 28.2012.
v1.2 Improve about dxf value scaling by units in sketchup.

Export dxf as inch values when the length unit in sketchup is inch.

Hi,Phanga.
Thanks your sharing.

Hi refy.
I will improve su2objmtl_vidro in future.
I will add material edit function for vidro.

In this time,material name is used for vidro material setting.

#Description
#Select the section plane and pulldown menu "Create Section Drawing".
#And The section will be created in the component definition list of the model.

#The section from solid will be filled.

Indeed this one of the best plugin... Many thanks!
But may I suggest or if possible to add a specify distance/measure (D=?) from section base forward see attached so that we could add some details we've like to include or exclude vice versa in the sections... thanks in advance...

Hi,JVT_LTD.
It is very useful suggestion.
I will add the depth text under the section drawing.

Hi,lubessy.
I can not see your state of sketchup.
So,please upload or send your file include that problem.

Thanks.
