The term “soft” in SketchUp means to hide the edge, so that no visible line is drawn. 711 subscribers Subscribe 22K views 2 years ago ALL In this video I summarize the steps to print our designs on SketchUp to 3D Priter. By the way, “smooth” in SketchUp means to blend the shading across edges, which is the main technique used to produce smooth-looking renderings (thus the feature’s name “smooth”). If you enjoyed this article and have any questions about Sketchup, Blender or 3D printing, please let us know in the comments below. It’s a simple technique, but a powerful one, if you plan on designing a lot of models in Sketchup for printing. You can unsmooth and unsoften the edges in a circular extrusion by showing Hidden objects (in the View menu), selecting the dashed edges, and using the Entity Info window to un-tick Soften and Smooth - or at least Smooth. That’s how you use Blender 3D to make STL files from your Sketchup models for 3D printing. The extruded circle will look pretty cylindrical (because the edges formed when extruding a circle or arc or curve are automatically smoothed and softened) the extruded polygon will look like a many-sided prism, which is how it will print. Push-pull them both into cylindrical objects. To see the difference, create a 24-sided circle and a 24-sided polygon. The printer will create the flat facets in the SketchUp model, not the sandpapered smooth look. These features are great for producing renderings of smooth- looking surfaces (which is of course their purpose), but they seriously mis-represent what you get from a 3D printer. Fixed a number of translation and truncation errors in localized builds.
#SKETCHUP MAKE 3D PRINTING OFFLINE#
Improved an issue where SketchUp would incorrectly display offline Learn tab content when online. Updated our Welcome dialog and product images. Another modeling tip for producing 3D printed objects: do not use SketchUp’s visual smoothing and softening features. Removed an unused Material1 from the 3D Printing templates.
