I completely missed this thread. Glad you gave the extension a try. Here's also an update:

I recently published version 3.0 which can now be used also with other services like Google (tested), Anthropic, DeepSeek (untested). As a result, I also renamed the extension. Give it a try...

AI Explorer (Experimental) Extension for SketchUp • [as]

This tool uses AI services (OpenAI / Google / ...) to create or manipulate geometry in SketchUp, write Ruby code, or analyze SketchUp models, all using natural language

[as] (alexschreyer.net)

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).

I finally got around to updating my code editor extension with a bunch of new features and fixes. If anyone is interested, could you please beta test it over the weekend? I am especially interested in Mac testers, because I don't have access. Here's the download:

Yes, re-uploading would be good. It's on my to-do list but I am not sure when I will get to it.

This is an error that comes back from Sketchfab. Did you exceed any allowances there (free vs pro)?

That model looks good. Have you tried their PBR rendering option (somewhere in the editor)? I find it makes materials more shiny and metallic, which should work well in your case.

Great to hear it works now.

Okay... the 2.3 version is now live on the EW and ES. Just hit "update". @nxtdave, you may still want to re-update it from the EW becasue then it will be considered "signed".

Regarding the materials and faces: Please check out my blog post here: https://blog.sketchfab.com/getting-your-sketchup-models-to-sketchfab-the-right-way/

There are some things you may need to do with materials before uploading. Sketchfab has a really powerful material and scene editor, but SketchUp's ability to have two materials assigned to a single face sometimes messes things up.

Typed my last message on the phone, so I couldn't add the link. Here it is:

Just download the 2-3 version and give it a try. Let me know if you run into issues.

Thanks, guys. I have submitted the new version for review. Unfortunately the review may take a week or so. EW will prompt for an update as soon as the new version is there. In the meantime you can actually get the rbz file from my GitHub page (link is on my site).
