Thanks Rich, I gladly will like to try to describe what my concern is

I would like to ensure that any 2D SketchUp export takes place (no matter what format PDF, PNG, JPG etc) always under the same standardized conditions, so to speak, and the result is always the same. I can't even guarantee this on my own machine itself. SketchUp does not allow any viewport-aspect ratio-independent export and even Sketchup scenes cannot solve this dilemma.
ScetchUp always exports its full viewport. However, the viewport itself never stays the same - it changes depending on how my Sketchup is equipped with trays, plugin bars or the screen used etc.
Due to this variance, an exported file always takes on different dimensions. For example, this always brings up all my layouts (in my case mostly within Adobe Illustrator)
Additionally, I always work in a team of around 20 users. Each of us must be able to (re-)produce the exact result that someone else would have produced.
Unfortunately, we/I can not do this because each exported file varies in size from in at least width or height.
Another reason for my desire for a standardized, freely adjustable export output from Sketchup is that I would like to exactly synchronize SketchUp's export with that of any downstream renderer.
So far we have avoided the dilemma described by only allowing any final scene adjustment and 2D-exports in a HD Aspect ratio (or of course a multiple thereof) by only allowing and using Eneroth's Viewport Resicer for exports.
And that's why I wrote above - this plugin is actually one of the most important plugins for me and essential for a defined workflow

I hope I was able to describe what my concern is and I really hope that there is another strategy that has remained hidden from me until now

Hi everyone
I found the answer to my question above myself. I obviously overlooked this information for whatever reason.
Such a pity, because I can't find a way to ensure that my scene aspect ratio exports from Sketchup are absolutely synchronised across different Sketchup workstations and their individual other setups and also synchronised with e.g. any downstream renderer...
If anyone has any suggestions for me, I would urgently appreciate any tips

Hi All
One of my most important plugins is Julia Eneroth's Viewport Resizer. It has worked for years with remarkable reliability across all versions of sketchup so far. Unfortunately and for the first time this plugin fails in my SkUp 2023 version. Has anyone had any other or better experience and any ideas on how I could get it to work?
(or maybe this plugin simply is not or not yet compatible with SkUp 2023)

ouch me! - you meant the original page, of course.
I had already updated the link to your new page and the obvious disappeared from my perception

many thanks!

wonderful and thank you again Rich - your first link is exactly what I was looking for and without your link I still wouldn't be able to find it myself.
(Yes, I bought a Fredo6 bundle already, but these licences are used up in the company where I work. I would now like to buy and use the new licences for myself...

(if you hadn't sent me this link - how could I find there myself?)

...yet another beginner's question from me (how embarrassing!)

Hi All again
now that I have the new Sketchup and the extensions relevant to me up and running, I would like to purchase the Fredo6 tool bundle and again I'm failing to do it although I have already done this somehow some years before.
I know that I need the latest Libfredo and I know where I can download the Fredo6 tool. What I don't find out is: how and where do I buy the licences for it?

again, Best & thanks for any support

Rich O Brien and @sketch3d-de
Thank you Both so much for all these helpful tips and, above all, for your patience.
With your guidance above I have actually got the thing up and running!!!
(I always behave like a neandertal in such activation and licensing affairs)

Hi All
I'm certainly not a newbie but I'm opting for this newbie section of this forum in this case because I just bought the latest Sketchup 2023 Pro (1-year subscription) for my personal use.
I have never done this privately before as I have always used SkUp 2017 Make so far. And since all my company's current pro versions are installed and managed by the company´s it department I have no idea what I have to do now...

My (first) 3 questions are
1.
the purchase of the Pro version worked perfectly - but where do I get the software from? I can't find a download link anywhere.
2.
Where can I get the licence key (or is there another way of activating)?
3.
How can I control that I get an English language version then?

Best & thank you very much for any support

Very mice mate, can we expect a full desk top with a green glass bankers lamp etc
and an old fat cigar ashtray should not be missing on this bankers desk top either

a nice work Tru-La-La!

...thanks again - and yes, it is probably a miserable codec. It's a shame that Sketchup is willing to accept that a laborious task (by man and machine) is useless by this shortcoming.
Luckily you introduced and remembered me to the "single frame method" I put the frame bundles directly into my timeline within Adobe Premiere Pro and it worked perfectly and above all in the quality to be expected right from the start...

...suuuper Rich - this export approach results in a so much better result - thank you very much

Hi All
Whenever I export video sequences from SketchUp, the lines "smear" after the animation as hopefully can be seen in the screenshot.
I hope someone here has an idea how I can get this out better?

sehr sehr gut!
