How to Make Material Patterns into ACTUAL Lines?
-
Desperately in need of help!!
Basically I need some Brick Patterns on my SketchUP Model (Which is ALOT of Bricks by the way). I know there is the material that I can "paint" on it. BUT I want my model to be exported in Isometric view as Vectors (EPS) and also AutoCAD. So I need the Materials to be actual lines and not just image...
I tried applying Hatch Patterns on autocad but the results isn't correct as I need the hatches to be in ISOMETRIC form, as AutoCAD just gives me a flat hatch that doesn't align isometrically.
Please help! I kind of read something about Skalp but I really can't afford to pay...
Anyone please?

SketchUp won't convert raster images to vector lines. You could trace over a section of the texture image or manually draw a brick pattern using the Rectangle or Line tools. Once you've modeled a little bit of it, you can create an array with Move/Copy to complete the pattern.

Oh alright! May I know how do I create an array? As I estimate to have like atleast a Thousand or 2 Thousand bricks to draw...!! So I have to copy and paste so many?
