I have tried to use the PageExlim plugin from Smustard, and cannot get it to show up in my Sketchup. Im using Skp 8 with Mac OSX v1.6.4.
Anyone else have this issue?

Has anyone figured out how to handle section cuts in Layout?

I have scenes saved in the model, some showing the cut, some not. In the scenes with the cut hidden, Layout still shows the plane of the section cut, even though its hidden in the model for that scene. I've been deleting the cut, saving and reloading as a workaround, but Im hoping someone here can advise a better strategy.

Thanks...

Hi,

Often when working in a large model, I will divide the parts into separate components, edit them separately, and reload them in the main model. This main model has all the views that I've picked out saved. Sometimes it would really help to be able to see the separate components from the same view while I'm editing it.

Also, sometimes I want to take a model that's been worked, and re-worked, so often that its accumulated too much stuff and copy part of it to a new file and start fresh. I would like to be able to take the scenes as well. I know I could just delete everything in that model but what I want, but the copy paste option is faster.

Anyone found any plugin, or other way to bring all your scenes, or certain scenes from one model into the next?

Thanks in advance...

Has anyone had much experience printing to PDF?

I like this feature because it lets you print to scale, but I am experiencing some problems with it. I am using a fairly complex model with lots of materials and geometery. When I print to PDF some materials will not print and show up as white. I've tried adjusting the material (scaling, coloring, resetting original color, changing the image..) and this has little effect. Ive tried coloring both sides of the face of objects with this material, with no success. Now, when I zoom in the material shows up-sometimes- depending on what seems to be random factors. Im starting to think the Print to PDF feature is pretty unreliable in this regard.

The only other way I can see getting a scaled image is to Export a Jpeg, and eyeball-scale it in cad or photoshop.

Does anyone have any input, suggestions, similar problems?

Thanks in advance...
