Hi Didier

I'm having some problems when I enter distance from inner face of wall.

My wall is 400mm, and when I enter 230mm, it places the window 2300mm from the face - there seems to be some small bug here ? I know, I can just enter 23mm, then it's ok, but just wanted to let you know. Nice script

Hi Anssi

Thanks for your input....

I'm having problems using the paint buket (live paint) in illustrator - but that's sure an illustrator problem - so I might look in such one...

I'm trying to get PDFs out, in scale, and with nice sharp graphics and the shaded face style.

If I print PDF as 'normal' as 'High Definition' it seems that the PDF is like a bitmap (see Plan stuen.pdf).

If I use the HLR setting in combination with 'Hidden line', in Face Style, I get a vector based PDF (see Plan stuen HLR BW.pdf) - nice, but no colors.

If I use the HLR setting in combination with 'Shaded', in Face Style, I get a nice sharp vector PDF, but somehow it is to dark

bla bla bla bla bla................ It seems that the 'Use the sun for shading' was cause the problem

Hi Alexander

The short answer - I just don't like layout

Where I work we use Indesign to setup presentations, and it does a very good job.

What I would would like to be able to, is to export/print (print for the right scale) the drawings from Sketchup, insert in Indesign - that's it. This is ok for most drawings, but sections often need somekind off attention - some lines are shown, that shuld not be in the drawing. So what I'm looking for, is a good way to modify the output from Sketchup.

Thanks

Hi rhankc

I'm trying to print without shadows, but with face style 'shaded'.

Hi
I'm curious about your folks workflow.

I'm trying to find a fast / the best way to use Sketchup. Until now I have been creating all 2d drawings in AutoCad, plans sections ect.... But now I'll try to get rid of AutoCad and use Sketchup as the 'only' drawing program.

What I try to do is create plan, sections, perspectives in Sketchup. Export/print them as PDF place them in indesign. But sometimes I would like to be able to edit the drawing, like adding colors, delete lines and so on...... This I would like to do in Illustrator, but haven't yet successed beeing able to modify inside illutrator. Live paint won't work with PDF files so......

How is your workflow ?

Thanks
Jorgensen

Hi

I'm trying to print a PDF from Sketchup - using a PDF virtuel printer.
I'm trying to achieve a simple, line drawing, floor plan with shaded textures.
But it seems like there is a big cloud on front of the sun.

If I don't use HLR the 'darkness' disapears, but the drawing looks like a bitmap drawing, and lost its the sharpness from the HLR format.

Settings:
Display - shaded
No shadows
PDF setting - use HLR

Can anyone help ?

Hi Gaieus

Thanks for your quick reply. I will take a look at Didirs script.

Thanks

Hi

I have build a very simple, yet, for me, a very useful layermanager.

It displays a toolbar with some buttons to turn off/on some specific layers.

What I'm not able to, is to make this script more flesible. For example, the layer I use to keep my autocad files in I call 0x Dwg, but other users might call it something else like blueprint.

So my question, how do I make the script more flexible ?

Like having variables called:
dwg_layer (for dwg drawings)
icons_layer (for tress people cars and....)

thiese variables can then be modified local in the drawing, and saved inside the drawing.

Does anyone have any idea about to achieve this kind of fleksibility ?

Thanks
Jorgensen
