SVG Exporter
-
Yeah, I've been doing that, but that's exactly the workflow I want to avoid. I want to export directly from SketchUp. The bummer is that it appears the Flight Of Ideas plugin should work, there's just some odd bug that's preventing it from actually saving the file.

This works for me on Windows 10 and SU2017 Pro

Windows 7 x64 w/ recent SUP 2017 M2 x64 too, besides groups/components which needed to be exploded.

That one works for me. Interestingly it has one less button on the toolbar. Where'd you get that from @rich?

There's was a fork on GitHub from simon's last commit. It worked on 2016.
I made one changed to this one. But it is still somewhat broken. The jscolor picker is failing.

Ah, so that one actually works which is cool. It's not exporting faces though... Has anyone seen a plugin that can do that?

not a plugin and not for free:

Huh... I wonder if that outputs to scale...

Hello!
I have tried both Rich O Brien's download and the simonbeard version, but nothing happens when I press the "SVG" button on the toolbar. I select the polylines I want to export, all curves are exploded. I really just want this to work

Someone else also reported that it doesn't work with SU2017. I expect the Flights of Ideas exporter needs to be updated to work with Ruby 2.0. You would need to contact the author or find someone willing to make the updates.

I still think that the DXF and STL export should be baked into SketchUp Make and web (or included as packaged extensions). Those are the most basic exporters (like DAE) and they would support anything from 3DP to CNC and laser cutting (i.e. the maker community). Folks can then convert DXF to SVG (or just use DXF).

neverever, with the the key difference (= DXF/DWG data exchange) between Make and Pro removed and already lots of users using Make commercially this would probably have a big impact on Pro sales... au contraire, strip down or better discontinue the Make version.
