In SketchUp, Click “File > Export > 2D Graphic” and select .jpg as the export file type.

Ah, there you go. Now I know the better way of doing it from Sketchup. Thank you.

Nevertheless, it’s still a useful little site for any other application. So that’s two good things that I’ve learned tonight.

Seems to work pretty well and it is free. Needs to also download Ghostscripts but they are safe

Taking a screenshot works well too.

Hi Tootles,

I use a FREE program called Irfanview, available at http://www.irfanview.com/

It works with all sorts of graphic files, and allows files to be saved in different formats – it even permits the creation of transparent background gif files

It has a ‘Paint dialogue’ function under Edit which allows erasing/filling/cloning, etc. and even text additions to images

Unless I am playing with really clever stuff on photos, this little gem is the one I reach for.

. . . . . just noticed the entry about screenshots above – I ‘paste’ these into Irfanview, then use the Edit/Crop Selection to pick out the area of the screen I want by enclosing it in a rectangle, and then print just that. I’ve also noticed that when one uses the ‘Copy Image’ function on a web page, it is not always possible to paste the actual image into another program. However, if I paste it into Irfanview, and the copy it from there, it WILL paste in other progs.

I know you have now found the jpg output function in Sketchup, but you might find Irfanview very useful anyway.
