[Plugin] IGES Export - 27 February 2012
-
HI everybody
I have a question about dimension when I export a SU model with iges- export.
My model has rectangle tubes. When I make an igs export of the model then the dimensions in the iges model are by the factor 25.4 bigger then in SU. (If needed I can also proviede a skp example)
Reopen the iges file in FreeCAD then the dimensions are the same as in SU. But when I send the iges model to a metal manufactury they tell me that the dimensions are by the factor 25.4 bigger then it should be.
It looks like ther is an conversion problem of inch to Centimeter.
Any idee what's wrong? Do I have to make any setup in SU?PS: Beside the dimension problem the export works very good!
Regards Peter

This download is not an rbz file it's rb. How do I get it and how do I install it???????????????????????????????

Always check for any Plugin's updates in the PluginStore.
There IS an RBZ version available there:
http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=iges_export
However, it is quite old and not been updated for some time, so use with caution... -
Just wanted to let everyone know that this plugin still works! I am using an older version of Sketchup, 2015, but still it did a nice job exporting my Sketchup model. Thank you for this very useful plugin!

It's not a .rbz file!

I beg to differ...
The PluginStore's version IS an RBZ archive.
Inside that is an RB file... -
Hey, i'm a little confounded. Could anyone please help me?
I did just as said in the article. I downloaded it and pasted the .rb file in plugins folder but i didn't have any new option in tools menu or any other place!
I really need this, your help is greatly appreciated.
-
Can I suggest you download the RBZ file from the PluginStore.
Then use the SketchUp native Installer.
Perhaps restart SketchUp to ensure everything is set up...If the tool loads properly it should appear in the Tools menu as "IGES Export"

hi,
looking up ruby file, it allow to save only selected grouped part. but the results still save all object in the model.
anyone know why this problem occurs?
thanx

@diredjo Hey there,
Not really a new user, but couldn't get my old creds to work. I posted a thank you on 7 Dec 2014...
I've drifted away from SketchUp for a myriad of reasons, but I have a file that I would very muck like to get into an IGES format.
I've used the tool to create the file, and unfortunately nothing will read the IGES file. Not SolidWorks, FreeCad, etc.
All crash to desktop.
I'm running ketchUp v2017 (the last downloadable version?) and the latest IGES import tool.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi there,
thanks for this great plugin.
And sorry for reviving such an old topic but I figured out it won't work if you have some annotation in your model (took me some time to find this out).
The error occurs in copyEntities (around line 120 in the code) but I don't have the knowledge to modify the code to avoid such an unexpected behavior.
Maybe someone here could improve the code ?
Or at least point me on the good direction ?
Even if I know nothing about ruby coding...Cheers and thanks for reading !
