[Plugin] Export Vertices to CSV
-
I'll try and look at it on Wednesday...
At first sight I can't see why it should do that...It's a very simple script so it ought to work and/or be fixable

Here's v1.3 http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=298614#p298614
Get it from the PluginStore download link, or AutoInstall it from within SketchUp itself...The recently reported issues of 'artifacts' appearing in exported meshes was caused by having the Model Units set to 'Fractional' [already advised against!] but it is is now trapped - the Units LengthFormat is temporarily reset to 'Decimal' whilst it is exporting, and it's reset afterwards as needed.
It also now in a 'TIG' module.
It has a new easy to use File menu itemTIG.exportvertices2csvto run it.
Or you can still use the clunky Ruby Console 'command-line' [note that you now must typeTIG.exportvertices2csv] -
Beautiful work. I tip my hat to you for making this great tool. This provides me with a very easy way to bring 3D Google Earth terrains into an external application. Bravo TIG!

Hi TIG,
The export2CSV does not extract the points in the proper manner. You may export a circle and draw a Scatter Graph in MS Excel. The lines appear out of order.
Would appreciate if there is any improvement

It just exports the vertices.
It does not order them.
A 'Delauney' algorithm is probably needed to arrange them... -
Hi TIG
I made a modification to an earlier version of your script that extends its functionality. Specifically, I tweaked it such that it exports the vertices of all the faces and edges in a model (not just the active selection). The tweak also finds all the faces and edges tucked away in groups and components. As well as applies the respective group and component level transforms to the vertices. I've uploaded the tweak to Gist, here's the link: modifiedScript
If the features are useful to you or your users feel free to integrate them with the latest version of your script.
Thanks a lot for creating and sharing the original script. It has been very useful!
Regards

Great plugin! Is there any chance to pull out more than 2 approximated decimal points out of sketchup? e.g. 10 or more? thx

If you read through this thread you can see that the number of decimal places you get depends on your precision settings in Model Info.
What units are you working in that you think you need 10 or more places past the decimal?

Hi TIG, is there somewhere I could look up as a guide for using your plugin? Out of my depth here but I basically just want to export the vertices from scatter instances in sketchup, to open in octane standalone scatter node. When I select the geometry / group (even if just a simple box) and hit TIG.exportvertices2csv under File nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? Using skp2019. Thanks very much for any help in advance!

There's help within the posts in the thread, have you read them all ?

Hi is there perhaps a way this plugin (or other) can export the co-ordinates of the polyline segments in the correct order? I am trying to reconstruct a polygon by loading in the co-ordinates from the csv, but I need them in the correct order. At the moment I am basically getting a point cloud
Thanks
Michiel
