      hello all,

      I have this problem:

      I have very large sketchup file with many scences (over 100) - urban project , as you know , very large file , and then I must spend much time to export each image from each scense ... Anybody have the plugin/ruby that I can make the "automatic exporting" all the sence to 2d image ?

      many thanks and happy new year ^^

      happiness on the way, not in the destination.

        I once had similar problem (glorious days of architecture school).
        I unchecked "Enable Scene Transitions" and exported as animation. In Save As dialog choose jpg. tiff, png instead of AVI. As a result you will have all your scenes exported as images without you having to sit there and do it one by one. It will still take some time, but at least you can rest πŸ˜‰

          This is very easy to do and i am sure a script already exist. But i am very glad you asked this question because it forced me to figure it out for myself. Basically you just loop thru the pages(scenes) and call the write_image() method. it took me about 5min to figure out from the API docs. If you are an adventures soul i will send you what i have or you can wait for a link, or full script from someone.

          Always sleep with a loaded gun under your pillow!

              here is what you need:

              Free Version http://www.smustard.com/script/SceneExporter

              and Pro version $10.00

              http://www.smustard.com/script/SceneExporterPro

              it works great but for large files the export can take a long time

                  This is really late, but the way to do it without purchasing or coding anything is like this:

                  1. Set the model animation speed to .1 seconds.
                  2. Export an animation with these settings:
                    For the export type choose .jpg (or .png or whatever)
                    Set the frame rate to 10 frames per second

                  Then export it. It works out that 10 frames per second and we set the animation to be .1 seconds per scene. So each scene gets exported, one after the other. I hope that makes sense. You should also be bale to set the animation to 1 scene per second and then set 1 frame per second if your brain likes to think of it like that.

                  Lately you've been tan, suspicious for the winter.
