Export SU to Illustrator
-
Hi - like to save my SketchUp (7 Pro) files in.dgw and open them in Illustrator, to make nice looking 2D presentations (i'm an interior designer specialized in office interiors). I find this the best way to place the furniture etc, and then I use SU for 3D examples in my presentation.
But when I open the files, they are always in 1000 pieces, an arc will be divided i a lot of small segments etc.
What can I do to avoid this?Thanks - Lene

The segmentation cannot really be helped. It comes from the facetted nature of SU models.
For a different approach, instead of DWG, you can export an 2d image in the PDF (or EPS)format to transfer things to Illustrator. This has the added benefit that instead of only lines, you also get the faces exported as flattened colour regions. You can also export a vector or hybrid PDF from LayOut and edit that.
Just my 2 cents,

Hi Anssi
Thanks for your answer. I'll try that!
Other deas are welcome, or ways to do it - I can't be the only one with that workflow?
Best, Lene
