      Hello,

      I'm working on a scene in sketchup but I'm running into a problem.
      I need a 2500x1116 jpeg so tried exporting it, as you can see the lines are ugly.
      A printscreen from the same scene look beter but is to small.
      What am I doing wrong?, I've tried all of the options with exporting.

      Thanks


      Exported


      Printscreen

        Turn on antialiasing in the export options

        With best regards

          Try exporting at double or triple the intended size and then resize in post edit.

            I find the AA poor and very slow. I do what Solo do, export x2 or x3 and size back down in Photoshop.

                Or scale it with the free Pliska Image Resizer, the dead-easy way to scale lots of images for posting on forums and sending to clients:

                  The basic issue is that a line is always exported at 1 pixel. So if your whole image is 50 pixels wide a vertical line will be 1/50th of your total image. But if you're image is 500 pixels wide it will be only 1/500th of your total image (ie. thinner).

                  So when you export at a larger size the lines will be thinner in relation to the rest of your image.

                      Yea, that is a problem some times. Option is to set a style with thick edges.

                        The BEST solution is to export from Layout7. Its renders are far better than from Sketchup directly and you can specify a line weight without having to use custom styles.
