I don't know, could I?

I must admit my experience of 3D modeling and rendering is virtually nil. Would it be possible to create a model - let's say for example a simple cylinder created from an extruded circle - and then change some kind of display setting so the number of steps created the illusion of a true cylinder?

Thanks for the replies.

I downloaded the pro version and discovered it exports the EPS with steps, not curved lines. Illustrator unfortunately does not have the means to 'rebuild' curves out of the steps.

Is it possible to render an SU model as a line drawing, with accurate curves instead of steps? It may then be possible for me to export such a render as a high res tiff and autotrace in Illustrator.

Thanks again.

Hello All,

I'm relatively new to SketchUp and I'm trying to decide whether to buy the pro version. One important feature of the pro version for me is the ability to export in EPS format - this means I could work with a 2D drawing in Illustrator.

What I need to know is, will curved objects in SketchUp be exported as 'steps' or will they be smooth curved lines. If the former is correct, is there a way around this?

Thanks in advance,

Chris
