  • Your on the wrong website i think you were looking for flickr when you posted this slide show.

  • i dont have those tools in sketchup 8 :S what do i do ?

  • Before you make stupid metaphors you might want to learn Sketchup proparly.

    You are obviously not aware that you can export 3D sketchupmodels to 2D Adobe Illustrator files. I do know what Im talking about, Im a graphic news designer by profession and use exported Sketchup vectorfiles to Illustrator on a daily basis in my work at a newspaper. And Ive also solved the puzzle with the subdivide and smooth I had earlier. Works just as well when exported to 2D.

  • @antibulletdodger101 I also have no idea what you are talking about. Illustrator is a 2D vector program. Sketchup is a 3D modeling program. What you are asking makes as much sense as asking how to import a movie into a book. Not sure what business a sketchup model has in illustrator unless you are looking for a screenshot. If you were trying to live-trace a screenshot then smoothing the edges in sketchup would hurt more than help.

  • I guess you are using the Pro version, which file format are you exporting to and what is the error message?

  • what I ment was that I used the smooth-effect in sketchup, and when I wanted to export that sketchupfile to illustrator it didnt work. there was an error message which has never happened before.

  • If you have an angular, boxy 3D model in Sketchup and want to "soften" the shape, this plug-in is for you. However, if you want 2D vector exports, then it can't help you... I will also add that I am unclear on the export options that the pro version of Sketchup provides since I only use the free version.

  • I'm not sure I understand... The Subdivide and Smooth Plug-in is used to smooth 3D Geometry in Sketchup while Illustrator, I believe, only deals with 2D vector graphics. This plug-in has no import/export functions, but Sketchup itself can export a 2D image that can be imported into any image software, though, not in a vector format.

  • Hey Krash! perhaps you can help me, I just bought the smooth-application but when I try to export is to Illustrator it doesnt work! Did I buy it for nothing? Please tell me I didnt
