I've only just experienced the same issue in my current project. Using SketchUp 2014 Pro, exporting as a 2D graphic into AutoCad 2011.

I started working through the 9 rooms in my project, first some rooms with just a straight run of cabinets, which imported perfectly from SU into AutoCad. Then, I got to this printer room and although it displays the scene perfectly in SU before exporting, in AutoCad it shows the graphic complete with all hidden line geometry... what's up with that?!

Have started hiding geometry, one-by-one, to see if it's a "Buoy box" effect like you're finsing. Also attempted saving original SU file as a 2013, and also in SU 8, but didn't change the outcome in AutoCad.

Recently, our cabinet shop purchased a design program called Mozaik, which I'm building our library & cutlists from (See first image) (On the right screen you click "View Product" and SketchUp opens automatically). It originally came with SketchUp 8 and paired nicely together, no issues. We've since upgraded to SketchUp Pro 2014 and when we render our product as 3D images from Mozaik, SketchUp opens with the error message (Second image).

When I click "OK" it just opens as a blank document, no geometry. So what exactly is this error message telling me?

Thanks Jim for the work-around. I've definitely commanded the pieces to the "0" position using XYZ "=0". I essentially fixed the problem with Cotty's method of re-doing the local origins of the components.

However, not that the pieces are back I wonder if you guys can offer info for scaling. I'd like to door to be able to scale & move pieces to fit a cabinet. Meaning, if I change the width of a cabinet, I want to tell the program to move the left & right stiles, and the scale the rails to fit the new width. Similarly, if I change the height I want SketchUp to move the rails to fit & scale the stiles to their new heights.

Could use some genius on this issue!

Dave, thanks for the reply. That's exactly what I'm trying to accomplish is the move/scale balance on the doors. Do you happen to have a door template with formulas for how to achieve that?

PC, thanks for all the detailed attachments & template file. I've imported a door to try out the features in our Mozaik program, but when I render it back out to SketchUp the rails and stiles are all stretched instead of staying at their constraints. Thanks though, nice work if I was only drawing cabinets in SketchUp!

I realized after a bit of tuning, the horizontal parts that are showing out of whack are copied parts of the vertical pieces, and in this case the XYZ values changed with my rotation of the pieces to become horizontal members. And as such, the parts were showing their own axes position as the entire door entity... had me quite confused.

I did a 'Change Axes' command for each component separately and then when I modified the component attributes 'Position' section they went into their proper place.

Crazy

Using SketchUp 2014 Pro, and transferring to Mozaik and back to SketchUp for the finished rendering.

Tried my hand at creating a new dynamic door style based on our company's own door library. Referring to the image below, how can I get the doors & drawers to only adjust in length & width depending on the cabinet, instead of the rails and stiles being stretched as well?

I've entered formula's and constraints for all the parts in SketchUp, but still has the parts being adjusted as well. Help if you can!

Using SketchUp Pro 2014

I'm attepting to create a cabinet door that SketchUp will let me adjust & scale/stretch to fit on any cabinet without modifying the material thickness & widths of the rails & stiles. I've added the formulas to keep the material dimensions fixed & it seems to be working.

However, my main issue is with positioning. I've modeled a 5-piece flat panel Shaker door (attached image) telling it to be tight together, but the pieces won't seem to follow along. The leftmost vertical member is set to be at 0,0,0 on the XYZ but clearly is way off the mark. As well, the other individual components seem to be off track in relation to the rest of the door members.

It's vital that the final door position is at 0,0,0 in positive space for it to properly work in our production software, Mozaik. Can I get some help on this? Thanks
