Dave R,

You are a genius! Typing .svg at the end of the document name worked. Who'da thunk it?

Thank you very much. I really appreciate your help.

Sincerely,

David R,

Thank you for your help. I am halfway there.

I removed the previous version of Sketchup 2017 and reinstalled it, making sure I right clicked and with Run as Administrator.

I still could not get the FlightsofIdeas .svg plug in to work. I did some internet hunting and came across https://github.com/JoakimSoderberg/sketchup-svg-outline-plugin, with its plugin v1.2 at https://github.com/JoakimSoderberg/sketchup-svg-outline-plugin/releases. I cleaned out the previous files of FlightsofIdeas plugins and installed the v1.2, using the Sketchup Extension Installer.

After that, I was able to save the test document with newly installed FlightsofIdeas svg file. However, Inkscape did not pull up the .svg test document when I tried to import it.

One thing I noted was that, in the export to svg dialog box, the file type bar under the document naming bar is blank and does not offer up any file options, much less .svg file options.

Any idea what else I need to do?

Thanks again,

BRG

HELP!

I have recently installed Sketchup 2017 in a Windows 10 system. I have created a document in Sketchup that I want to save as a .svg file so I can transfer it to Inkscape.

I have downloaded Flight of Ideas and installed it in the plugins folder of the Sketchup folder (Not as easy a process with the elimination of the Window>Preferences>Extensions box.). When I click on the Flight of Ideas icon, I get the Export to Faces dialog box. I make the necessary changes and click "Save." Nothing seems to happen as the dialog box remains open. (See screenshot.)

I then click exit and the dialog box closes but the file does not save as an .svg file.

1. Anyone have an idea why the file is not saving and, more importantly, how to fix it?

2. If not, anyone know of a good, reliable .svg converter program that is easy to install and use in Sketchup 2017?

I am only trying to get my document into Inkscape. Also, since I am not a computer programmer, grateful if you would use simple English -- like you were explaining the process to your grandfather.

Thank you.

Maddeningly frustrated,

BRG

I have installed your Flattery plugin and it is doing a great job unfolding designs. However, when I click on the SVG button, I get the pop up menu to select where to save the file but the svg file type does not appear in the lower box. In fact, no file type appears. Any idea how I can fix this?
