      every time, I tried to use the plugin in houses that had already modeled, sketchup closed =/
      small objects functioned normally.
      ๐Ÿ˜„

      It is intended to CAD up components. A 'whole house' is going to be veeeery data intensive ???
      Perhaps the outer 'shell' will be OK but all of the internals that have to be inspected and discounted ????
      Even if 'hidden/off-layer!
      Export what you want to CAD up [select, right-click, save_as] and process that.
      There will be a new version out later today - see how that does... ๐Ÿค“

        Morning TIG!

        Sound like you have a busy day!

        I am watching this space with interest as it has been suggested that postgrad students use SU for small design jobs rather than AutoCAD Inventor which is way over the top for most of their needs. Also, the free version od SU is, afterall, free. We have to watch our pennies these days, and even a student copy of Inventor is around ยฃ300.

        Regards,
        Bob

            get it!
            Great job, hope you can run stably!

            Tested on a cube, which made a hole in the left side, right side view of the hole he showed too;)

            Thank you.

              Here's v1.2 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=309485#p309485
              Container now made into a Component for easier export to SKP.
              Please read the notes with the download link... there have been changes...
              All SECTion and AXOnonmetric views have been added.
              Arrangement of the 'parts' has been adjusted and the use of the original selected object has be modified to minimize potential 'clashes'.
              Default file/layer name of '2CAD' now becomes 'SKAD'.

              Feedback please...............

                Tip:-
                The 6 SECTions are always cut at the center of the selected object's bounding-box.
                If you want to make the sections in a different location then group the main component with between 1 and 6 guide-points [number depends on how many directions you want to slide the 'center'] - each suitably located to change the then combined bounding-box so that its center is now where you want the SECTion cuts to be placed [if your object us already a group you can add temporary guide-points to that]...

                  Thanks, Tig

                  You can not even imagine the plugin is useful for furniture design.

                    When exporting to .DWG, all the lines are exported in the "0" layer without any sorting.. So I can't re-use efficiently this file in Autocad. Do I miss something?

                      Exporting a 2D file makes everything on one layer and ignores arcs etc.
                      Do it as 3D and it should export properly.

                          It's still at an early stage... next will be an interface to let you choose which views to export and several other options.. and perhaps auto-export to CAD format... Watch out for developments...

                                a complete awesome plugin TIG! i did find one peculiar behavior with groups created with housebuilder - the xplode function seems to think the entities are deleted. here's the ruby console message:

                                Error: #<TypeError: reference to deleted Group>
                                C:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/cadup.rb:222:in explode' C:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/cadup.rb:222:in xplode'
                                ...snip...numerous other lines...

                                attached is the SU file which has the housebuilder group.


                                test cadup with housebuilder script generated group

                                      Thank you so much !!!
                                      The AXO's are great but I do a lot of "Isometeric Drawings" in CAD that have the base angles (x,y) at 30 degrees instead of the AXO's 45. Would it be possible somehow to get such an Iso at 30 degrees?
                                      Thanks again for you great work!!!

                                        Iso's are MUCH harder to make than Axo's... that's why you don't get them ๐Ÿ˜‰
                                        I have a made a separate IsoAxo toolset to set a view to Iso or Axo [with model Z-scaling as needed] - search for that on the forums here...
                                        I have an upgrade in the pipeline [currently 'blocked'] but that's not on the list ๐Ÿ˜’

                                          Hello Tig,

                                          Will this be similar to the old ADO autimatic drawings export of pages in dwg or image format. Do you recall this ruby script. It was very easy to use. I think Didier B was the original author. It as also very useful.

                                          Thanks,

                                            Not quite like ADO as it assembles actual 2d hidden line 'component's' as flat 2d objects based on the standard views...
