Please note that .eps and .pdf are also recognized in both applications. Since they both are vector formats, your shapes and control points are maintained (at least, a 2D representation of your 3D SketchUp model).

Hi Curtis,
We probably also need to say that, ".eps & .pdf's are only available in SketchUp Pro and not in the free SketchUp."

I don't use SU. But is it possible with the non-pro version to 'print to PDF' if you have a PDF print driver installed?
If so, then you might get away with not needing SKPro![]()
Excellent point.Originally Posted by Fred C

Yes. You can download and install CutePDF Writer (free), and gain essentially the same export functionality.Originally Posted by sledger

Swift 3d exports vectors to ai and eps and I haven't ever been able to open anything it exports in Xtreme directly. I always end up having to re-save in another app. Maybe something similar is happening with sketchup?
There may be some issues in how certain texture mappings, shadows, opacity, line and face styles, and smoothed faces are interperted when printing to a PDF writer.
My advice is to create a variety of small files in SU using a different features, etc., and test them BEFORE building a large/complex model and then being disappointed.
