      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. 😄

        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 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.

                  Thank you for creating this plugin!

                  however, when i open the section cut dxf file.. nothing comes out!!

                  but the section cut and saving all worked from sketchup , and it automatically saves my file

                  so when i open the dxf file.. nothing shows in autocad...

                  any idea why??

                  please let me know!

                    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.

                            Nice one... 👍

                            I don't know if I'm the only one experiencing this, 😞 the text about distance of section plane is placed in left bottom of the drawing does not appeared? after giving the section name the process is same as old version ❓

                            What I did is replacing the old .rb files...

                              Hi,JVT_LTD.
                              You may overwrite this.rb file on already exists rb file.
                              Restart your sketchup after the current version is installed.
                              "About This" is added in create section drawing menu.
                              Please watch this video.

                              Thanks.

                                Thanks for such a nice video tuts... 👍

                                But I don't know if its possible to your plugin? what I would like to suggest? See attached below...

                                http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/6605/image002kk.png

                                My suggestion is ... After giving ComponentName, if possible, if you could include another process where you could add Distance(D=?)such as Section Plane as starting/origin point then by applying a certain Distance (D=?)and it will be the end point, the result will be like see attached below, in dwf and skp format as your plugin did.

                                http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/8746/image003k.png

                                Well this is just a suggestion of mine, you may or you may not include it, but the potential of your plugin is truly amazing if you could include this kind of process...

                                Again thank you & looking forward to your plugin... 👍 👍 👍

                                  It is difficult for me.

                                  And It will take too very long time to calculate the projection by script.

                                  Thanks.

                                      How do you create a BST-Baselines on sketchup?
                                      Please suggest...

                                        The Group named "BST_BASELINES" will become BST-Baselines group.
                                        Lines/Clines in that group will be drawn as the baseline in section drawing.
                                        Notice: Allcharacters of "BST_BASELINES" are written in capital letters.

                                            The 'Yeni klasör' is the culprit.
                                            SketchUp's Ruby on PCs can't cope with non ASCII characters in file-/folder-names and file-paths - so do not use accented letters etc!
                                            Try renaming that folder 'Yeni klasoer' or 'Yeni klasor'...
                                            It should then work... 😕
