New section plugin?

... However, on your question: Skalp definitely has an export to DXF from SketchUp that includes the original hatches, based of the original .pat definition. Please feel free to follow us through our site, twitter or Facebook: http://www.skalp4sketchup.com
Hello Skalp Team, thanks for the additional info. Will definitely give it a go once it comes available.

It's a shame layout hasn't got ruby... I understand that with skalp texture paterns created from cad hatches can be exported back as hatches. I bet we can't do it from LO though.

Oh how I dream... I can only imagine how fantastic things would be.
Why can't ruby do documentation in sketchup?

But they just said this "It supports line widths, colors and transparency for use in SketchUp and Layout." Can't wait to see what it means.

Y'all should have been at Basecamp.

The plugin should manage styles too... Create a scene for section and another for view use a style for section another for view...
That's what I waste my time doing all the time at least, will it happen automatically?

You can see a part of the presentation of Skalp for SketchUp at 3DBasecamp on our youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/skalp4sketchup

New Video by Skalp. Export to dxf is from Sketchup. Result in Autocad are vector hatches.

I bought Skalp with the same feeling vented by most of you guys: it seems to be a very promising plugin.
however, its release seems to have been premature at least in what regards documentation. so far there has not appeared one single tutorial dealing with complex sections like the ones one does in real life. to apply textures to a simple cube is easy enough but what about doing it to a complex section made up of nested groups and components.
not to mention the fact that many of features on the toolbars do not work yet on Mac OS.
I still think Skalp can be of great help but so far it has not lived up to one's expectations. sometimes it is better to wait a little longer and come up with more finished product than to rush to release it and have to face a lot of complaints.

Hi Edson,
We take note. We will make a movie on one of our own real life models. Maybe you could send us model of yours that shows us what kind of workflow / nested structures you want to be able to use?
We'll contact you on the toolbar issues, as these seem to be unique to your case.The Skalp Team
