    I have created a model of a bbq table in sketchup. I added some materials and saved the model.

    The problem is I need to return it to a wireframe to export as vector but some of the lines have disappeared.

    The appear as I orbit but other lines dissapear then?

    I have selected show edges & profile lines. I had soften edges but I have selected all and removed the options for edge softening.

    Is there something I am missing?

    Thanks.

      I believe I understand your issue. However, it would be very helpful if you could post either the skp or an illustration (php,jpg)with markings showing the problem areas.
      This will enable others to assist you.
      I take it that lines disappeared, how about faces. If faces are there, then some lines have been hidden.
      Select View>Hidden Geometry. If they are softened and hidden, and not too numerous, you can trace over the segments missing. If they are numerous, you can do a select all and edit>unhide -or right click unhide?

      Let some others respond, also.
      I am just bumping.

      I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

        I have attached a file. The only problem with showing hidden geometry is that too many lines appear and not just
        the main edges that I need to see.

        I then need to export as a vector to do further work in Adobe Illustrator, so i do not want hundreds of
        small lines to delete.

        If you orbit the drawing you will see what I mean.

          Hi,

          Is it this what you Need? Export your model as DXF and reimport it into Sketchup.
