I just realised that my Paint Shop Pro program could handle .dxf files. I only have the free Google Sketchup version so I cant save in .dxf. Do you see where this is going?....well then I checked to find that Paint Shop Pro cant handle .skp files Oh well, back to the drawing board. At least I can export 2D sketchup files as .jpg now and open them in Paint Shop Pro then save as .dxf. So I can kinda convert. Im not looking forward to forking out the $400+ for the full sketchup version (Sorry google) but I know Im gonna have to soon......oh well...
PS: My gates have started advancing to the level of nice marketable designs so Im a bit reluctant to put them up in case any future competitors see, at least until Im set up then they'll see anyway I suppose! But I'm doing some other stuff with sketchup and I'll post that as its finished.
Keep putting up examples of your work in sketchup!!
