Calling Google SketchUp Whizzes - Arcade Cab plans export

All,

 

I have google sketch-up plans for an Arcade cab. Wondering if anyone out there can help me export it to a more usable format for CAD or possibly manual cutting.

 

Cheers,

 

Mark

It would depend on what the plans look like and what you want to do with the exported files. Are the plans a 3D model of the cab or just a flat 2D layout of the panels? You can export to 2D Graphic in the File->Export menu. If you export it to Autocad DXF or a variety of vector formats. It's important to get your scaling, view and projection correct in order to create something useful. So some more info would probably be needed in order to help.

It’s a 3D model of the wood.

Assuming you just want the outlines for cutting you should be able to select Camera->Standard views->Top. Then select Camera->Parallel Projection. Zoom to the area you want to export. This would be zoom to extents if you want the whole plan. From there you can Select File->Export->2D Graphic. Choose the format you want I.e. PDF or DXF. Then select options and tick the box for Full Scale 1:1. You probably wont need to play around with the line settings. You should be able to click OK then Export.

Much appreciated @Technics

 

Any way to get it to show measurements?

Not fully automatically but it's pretty easy to add them and then export. https://help.sketchup.com/de/article/3000101
