Thanks Charlie, I know about the difference between 2d and 3d DXF export. The problem is different. In the attached image you can see what the problem is I encounter. The DXF export does generate true arcs (non segmented) code, so far so good, but... In both the DXF to G-code translators I use (free ace converter and USB CNC, the last one a professional program), the G code based on a DXF file generated by sketchup pro 8 results in a mirrored output.

You can use Follow me for the outside edge and Curviloft for the main body. q.skp [image: Zp9r_q.jpg]

Maybe something strange in your files going havoc with Preferences - General - Automatically fix problems when they are found (checked) ?? Just wildly guessing here.

THANKS. I TRIED IT.

Thank you very much...drawing a line around the whole object and then erasing the end piece allowed me to then push/pull it out.

Thanks Dave R

I believe that translation is your model units from Sketchups orgin at 0.00, 0.00 based on the lat/long of the location you selected, hope that makes sense, not sure if I explained myself clearly

Nice, Would be better as a plugin that launches in a dialog in SketchUp. Maybe add a filtered search too.

Jerry, I use CleanUp2 all the time and I've never had it explode anything. We'll probably never know now what really happened to your model but it would be interesting, if you redraw it and try again. Save the file first and then run the extension.

Please check messages.

Estoy muy interesado en el tema, no tengo aún oculus porque tengo MAC pero estoy planeando pasarme a PC por los problemas de compatibilidad de MAC con los visores VR, Pronto esscribiré mi aporte al respecto

ThruPaint is fantastic!

Not really topic specific but the latest Xfrog related post I could find so thought I'd touch base with this one. I've just started using Xfrog to make some custom trees. But, I'm having issues exporting them as .obj format to import into S.U. (Pro 2019). Some of my models import with the tiff textures OK, but others don't. On some, the image textures (tiffs) don't import, but get swapped out for default Xfrog textures (colors only), and on others, they come in as one sided only, which is not very useful, esp. on the leaf textures, as there are a lot of those to fix and the normal directions are all over the shop. I've also tried importing into Blender & same issue seem to occur. I'm not sure if it's the way the trees are structured in the Hierarchy and if some Xfrog components cause issues with exporting or not. Because I've had some import into S.U. OK, I'm pretty sure it must have something to do with how there made in Xfrog. I'm trying to work it out by trial & error but hoping someone else can shed some light on the topic. I haven't had much luck finding support resources for Xfrog, esp. in re: to S.U., so hoping this forum might be some help. And if anyone has any other tips on using Xfrog that they wish to share, that would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

ThomThom's Edge Tools might do what you need. I think there's another one, too. Ah yes, Fredo6's Curvizard.

sorry it just didnt appear, thank you

Moved from the SketchUp Bugs forum because this is not about a bug. Where the heck do you get your false information, garystan? SketchUp 8 was "phased out" years ago. There's now been four versions of SketchUp since SketchUp 8. At least Kerkythea and the SU2KT extension would still work with SketchUp 8, though. As Unearthed mentioned, Trimble owns SketchUp and has done for a few years. And there is still a free version of SketchUp even with SketchUp 2016. It is called SketchUp Make.

I use this one... http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=ene_texturepositioning_v1.0.2_0 It comes with a rotate 90° tool (right/left) and you can assign shortcuts. The other tool i use a lot is the "align texture to edge". Very helpful!
