      Not quite like ADO as it assembles actual 2d hidden line 'component's' as flat 2d objects based on the standard views...

          Thanks TIG. I will be trying this out to create 2D furniture and fixtures from 3D files. This should make that a pretty simple task.

              It's stalled at this stage - but it still has some useful features 😄

                  Thank you for work!
                  Can the script do this tipe of projection of detail?

                  http://storage1.static.itmages.ru/i/13/0609/s_1370722566_8997578_4ada51f771.png

                  And, optionaly, if it posible, user can choose what projection they need.

                    Here's a slight update http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=309485#p309485
                    It now comes with ArcCurveTests.rb for backwards compatibility with v7 etc when handling curves/arcs etc...

                      Hey TIG,
                      seems like a great plugin that would help a lot to me, but it seems I cannot get it to work (on SU 2014/Win).
                      When I run the command, after some processing it makes all the new layers, a copy of the component/group on SKAD layer, but all the other layers are empty. I do not see any of the 2D views.
                      the ruby console says
                      "skad
                      Error: #<TypeError: reference to deleted ComponentInstance>
                      ...
                      <main>:in <main>' -e:1:in eval'
                      nil"
                      what do i do wrong?

                        Unsure.
                        It's an old plugin, but should still work in v2014...
                        Do you always get the error?
                        Can you post of PM a SKP containing the problem component...
                        😕

                          Thanks for the fast answer.
                          I tried some different models, in different versions of su (7,8,2013,2014) and I always get the same results.

                          I really feel like an idiot now, but I don't see where can I send pm.

                            I now have your PM and SKP.
                            Unfortunately I'm away very shortly but I can look at it in the middle of next week...

                              Thanks TIG for the help. I've found my mistake. There were components inside the component.
                              I exploded everything and made one group/component and your plugin worked like a charm!

                                  Ive Recently installed the CADup extension, I tried both ways, through the software and dropping it in the plugins folder, but I cant find it anywhere within the software, it tells me that its installed and ready for use but no sign of it, I looked under plugins and also toolbars,
                                  Any tips?

                                      As Pilou says - it appears under the 'Tools' menu as 'CADup'.
                                      It works in all versions of SketchUp from v2015 downwards - at least down to v8, but I suspect Pilou uses it in an even earlier versions. 😉
                                      It is not without its foibles... some text on 'right-hand elevations/sections can get offset somewhat to the right - edit the container and relocate it manually; also the Axo views can sometimes over lap the last Ortho view nearest to them, but they can also be relocated easily...
                                      Sometimes a few edges are missed off...
                                      Its function is really to create a set of 2d Ortho/Axo views from a 3d component.
                                      For DXF/DWG export for use to CAD - the CADup layering allows you to differentiate between hidden lines etc in the CAD display...

                                          ..am I the only one thinking this plugins is REALLY AWESOME and would need an update? This really has a great potential: reducing models to 2d lines inside SU could ease the load of layout in recalculating vector viewports!

                                          TIG, is this a project you had some ideas on or not?
