Part of a line?
The eraser tool deletes the entire line. Can one erase part of a line?

RE: Tutorial: Export Sketchup to Pdf file
Dave R,
Thank you so much.
I added 10 pages. Page 1 was Scene 1.
Then, I copied Scene 1 and pasted to Page 2. Clicked on Scene 1 and chose Scene 2 in Viewport.
Went to page 3, pasted Scene 1. Clicked on Scene 1 and chose Scene 3 in Viewport, etc.Then I exported all of the pages/scenes to pdf.
Am I missing any more steps?

RE: Tutorial: Export Sketchup to Pdf file
Dave R,
Thank you for responding.
I seem to be missing a step.
When I saved my SU and sent it to LO, there is only one page. For example, it only shows Scene 1. There are no other pages for the other scenes.
Then, when I export the LO to pdf, there is an option to export all of the pages, but I have only one page/one scene to export. How does one get all of the scenes to appear on a different pages?

RE: Tutorial: Export Sketchup to Pdf file
Richard,
"When the output is as you really want it to be, one can export to several file types including multi-page PDFs."
How does one export multi-page PDFs? For example, I have a LayOut file with 9 scens. Do I have to export each scene separately?

RE: Trim a Sandbox
Rich,
Thank you for replying.
How were you able to select them so neatly? -
Trim a Sandbox
Can one trim a sandbox?
I made the geometry too big. Can one trim it down?

Pattern Fill in SU?
Can one create/design a pattern fill for a SU model?
I'm printing a book in black and white and I need hatching of water - waves. Not too realistic, rather symbolic. It seems, form what I've seen, one can only design and use a new pattern fill in LayOut. i don't use LO too much.

RE: 3D into 2D?
@dave r said:
It's possible to do it without any extensions. You just need to clean up the edges where there are overruns and gaps so a face can be formed.

Dave R, thank you, but I was hoping for a solution that was a little less tedious.
Good advice. It is much easier to work with Length Snapping turned off.

RE: 3D into 2D?
Exported object as a dwg and imported it as a flat, 2D object. I would like only the profile, the outer boundaries of the flat image and the ability to color it with a material fill.

3D into 2D?
May I easily convert a 3D object into a 2D object?
Once I have the desired perspective and angle of the 3D object, it would be easier for me to work with it as a 2D object in SU.

Right Click/Copy
It would be useful to e able to select an object and right-click/copy.

Flat bottom
How can I make this boat have a flat bottom? I would like to slice it where the horizontal plane is. I saw Dave R's instructions in "Cut object in half and have it separated", but can't duplicate it.

RE: Color Change - PDF
Dave R.,
I understand why in the SU file there are different shades of gray according to the light source.I was just wondering why the PDF doesn't duplicate the colors that are in the SU model.

RE: Color Change - PDF
[quote="Dave R"]If you're going to make your PDF exports from SketchUp instead of LayOut you might as well skip the textures and just use colors.
But, why do the side walls change color? They are not textures but rather increments of gray.

Color Change - PDF
Why do the colors change when I export to PDF?
In the SU model:
The walls of the Top View & the Side View are R:245 G:245 B:245In the PDF output (File/Export/2D Graphic/Save as type PDF):
The walls of the Top View are R:171 G:171 B:171????
The walls of the Side View are R:245 G:245 B:245I have to do hundreds of these diagrams, so I prefer not to have to use LO every time.

RE: Where are my Book Marks?
Thank you, Rich.
I didn't realize that clicking my profile name in the upper right corner would open the "User Control Panel".

Where are my Book Marks?
How does one find saved bookmarks?
Board index > User Control Panel* > Manage bookmarks**
- Link on the (almost) top left
** 3rd link in the left navigation menu
I can't find "User Control Panel" to open "Manage Bookmarks".

RE: ZOOM TO SELECTED OBJECT
Dave R and box,
Thank you for your helpful suggestions. -
RE: Aligning multiple components to sit on one plane
Select the components, open Windows>Ruby Console, paste this one-liner and press enter.
Sketchup.active_model.selection.grep(Sketchup;;ComponentInstance).each{|ci| ci.transform! Geom;;Transformation.translation([0,0,-ci.transformation.origin.z]) }
This will put all selected components on the XY plane.[/quote]
sdmitch, thank you. Just what I needed. Just have to be careful to copy and paste the whole thing, even the last } which is on the bottom line.
