          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.

                      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. ๐Ÿ˜‰
                              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?

                                      Please install the latest version from the PluginStore [v2.0].
                                      It should be compatible with newer versions of SketchUp...

                                        Hello, TIG. Tnks for this, its amazing!
                                        Sorry my english, but i have a question.
                                        Working with Layout for Sketchup, will be insteresting if the plugin make cenes of this planes. Its possible?
                                        Remember me this Revit tool > https://help.autodesk.com/view/RVT/2024/PTB/?guid=GUID-3DD5B596-D353-489D-96EF-E3F46D287E5D
                                        With this, 2D orthogonal views will be referred to the model, updating when make changes in the model. I can do this manually, but can be a fast way to detail one architecture project with lot of carpentry. Basicly, one plugin that make cenes (section, top view, front view, axo...) of a component with one click.
                                        What do you think about that?

                                          What version of SketchUp are you actually using? You put 2018 Free/Make in your profile but that version has never existed.
