SVG from SketchUp Faces

thingiverse

Hi all, I thought that SketchUp users may appreciate a plugin that makes the exporting of 3D models to 2D vector graphics a bit easier. The plugin (ruby scripts) allows the user to select SketchUp faces and export the oulines of these faces to a Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file. The plugin was developed to help with constructing designs for laser cutting, but I know of people who use it for CNC routing as well. This latest version of the plugin hasn\'t been tested with any laser cutting yet (I\'m working on some designs at the moment), but I know how Thingiverse users like to be on the bleeding edge ;-P Instructions The latest version is always available from:http://code.google.com/p/sketchup-svg-outline-plugin/ I\'ve started documentation for this latest version and it will be expanded as I start laser cutting:http://flightsofideas.com/?p=572 For a bit more information, you can check out my documentation on the previous plugin version at Instructables: [Part One]http://www.instructables.com/id/SketchUp-Inkscape-and-Ponoko-Laser-Cutting/ [Part Two]http://www.instructables.com/id/Designing_for_Ponoko_Laser_Cutting_with_SketchUp_a/
