SVG file Import (importing)
-
I have not bee able to get an svg file imported. I think I have the setup right - all the files in the right place. I am able to start the import, an SVG Layer is created, but no geometry - only a lot of errors. I'm not sure at this point if it is the svg.rb file, or the rexml library that's generating the errors. I'm still trying as time permits.
I've attached what I have so far.
attachment removed due to conflict with set.rb

Hello, I'm french, new here and my english is bad...
I've seen that bezier.rb is missing in the zip file.
I've found it on the Didier Bur's site.
I could open just a few svg files, but the others
can be converted to SIMPLE svg files with Inkscape.
It works for me.Xavier

Yes, I forgot to include bezier.rb in the .zip file, I have added it to the .zip. I do have it in my plugins folder. Can you post an example svg file that you were successful in importing?

Now, a not importable svg opened with Inkscape and saved as "simple svg"
It rocks!

Hm...
"Simple svg" is a french translation for "Plain svg"
So, in Inkscape, choose "Save as Plain svg" to have a file you can open in SU.

Ah yes, it now works. I have Inskscape installed, but I missed the "Save as Plain SVG" Option.
Thank you, Xavier.

Exception parsingHow to solve this problem?

Hi danbig,
You need to open your SVG file with inkscape.- Go into Inskcape's preferences
- Under "Tools" select "SVG output"
- Under "Path data" - uncheck "Allow relative coordinates"
- Right below that - check "Force repeat commands"
Be sure to save the new preferences by hitting the little triangle-in-a-box button in the top right corner of the preferences window.
Once you do that, you can save Plain SVG files and import them successfully into Sketchup for further manipulation.

Where I can find this SVG importer ? Is it possible to be posted here, on SketchUcation?
Thank you. -

I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY IMPORT A PLAIN SVG FILE INTO SKETCHUP MAKE 2014 USING THIS METHOD. IS THERE ANY ADDITIONAL STEPS I NEED? GOAL IS TO INPUT A SVG FILE (THE WORDS "PEACE" "ON" AND 'EARTH" WHICH HAVE BEEN TRACED AND WELDED TOGETHER IN TO THREE INDIVIDUAL SVGS.) OF A WELDED WORD INTO SKETCHUP AND EXTRUDE IT TO MAKE A 3D 'BOX' ABOUT 2" THICK.
