[Plugin][$] FredoPortrait - v2.9a - 01 Apr 24

I understand this extension can batch export image files, such as .jpg and .png using the screenshot function. Is it possible to batch export PDFs (for vectors) as well? I have been seeking an extension to batch export PDFs either by group or selection, and this extension is the closest I've seen.

FredoPortrait Screenshot does not export PDF, precisely because they are vector files, for which it makes no sense to take a portion of the viewport in pixels.

FredoPortrait Studio does the export in PDF (for model and objects). Batching these export is a good idea, but requires evolutions of FredoPortrait, which I am not sure I can do quickly.

Hi Fredo!
Again your plugins enable us users to do so much more with sketchup. Thank you.

I have only scratched the surface regarding FPortrait using Custom Cameras.

Is there a Settings Page? you sometimes have one... I would like to have the window open permanently and not disappear when I click a change. Is this possible? or am I missing something?

Cheers
Chris

Which window do you refer to?

Fredo, 'generate 2d component' tool produced slightly larger 2d representation* of original one (for example 3969mm instead of 3967mm). is there possibility to make it precise?
*- parallel projection of course, anycontouring mode

Would you have a model to investigate. I am not sure however that the plugin can do anything about the Sketchup inherent precision.

please take a look

another issue: some parts in 2D component get lost

Hi Fredo,
I have a few problems using Portrait Studio

When its open, SU looks like it jumps back a few steps. if i click into a group with Portrait open it will jump back to what ever happen a few moments ago - if I rotated , altered position or placed an object

Please see you personal messages and the dropbox link to the movie i just took

Cheers
C

Hello,

Is it now possible to batch export files to PDF (in the case of vectors)? I'm looking for an extension for bulk export of PDF files by tags or scenes.
