Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you!!! That does indeed do the trick.

I would have never figured that out from just reading the documentation on Exporting in the "Help" section.

That was a nice one, Anssi, thanks a lot!

I hate to bother you guys again about something similar, but I'm still stuck on how to get a high quality floorplan into LayOut. You don't "export" to LayOut, you use the "send to LayOut" command. But there aren't any options to set the linewidths (as there are for the export command), it just sends the file. I've tried changing the quality to 300 DPI in LayOut, but that didn't help. I was hoping to use LayOut to do some text labeling since SketchUp is very limited as to what you can do with text.

BTW-- LayOut seems to be a tremendous memory hog, but that's another issue. Just a simple floorplan, to scale, brings my computer to its knees!

Don't use 300 dpi in LayOut until you're ready to export to PDF or print, do 72 dpi while you're creating your doc.

Line thickness is in the style tab in the Sketchup Inspector. Its in points.
So try 0.2.

Yeah, I figured that out quick!

Sorry, but what is "SketchUp Inspector"? I did a search for "Inspector" on the help page, and it came up blank.

Goggin,

That's the "SketchUp Model" tab in your tray. See snapshot (and the lineweight setting input field where my cursor is)

Goggin

Oh, that's in LayOut. I was looking in SketchUp. I'll try that later today.

Goggin

Yep, that worked. Thanks, Gaieus.
