There would still be some clean up necessary, which isn't really acceptable if I started this whole experiment in an effort to save time. And as I say, the problem is also apparent in some spots in other views, so just foregoing the isometric view isn't an option. You can see the form of the flange is not well conveyed in the isometric at all because of the lines that are treated as non-existent.
I've attached a cropped isometric view and a render of the same area. But when I do so, a problem quickly arises, many smoothed edges disappear in the export process causing a lot of visual problems.
I figure since I'm making a 3D model, exporting an isometric image is easy and would be useful and might be a regular feature of my drawings from this point on. This problem occurs in some spots in ortho views, but is most apparent in an isometric view. I've got just about all the kinks worked out and I'm hoping I can iron out the last couple so this whole crazy endeavor won't have been for naught.
So my intention was to build all the fittings in SketchUp, stick 'em together and then export a couple ortho views to DWG and hop into AutoCAD where I have my title block and the callout/dimension styles already made.
#When i explode a block in autocad it disappears full#
I do AutoCad work, working with natural gas pipeline assemblies and recently I've started creating a lot of the components in SketchUp, in the hopes that it could eventually speed up my workflow as well as providing all the benefits that having a full 3D model of the assembly could provide. I searched back a few months and did a keyword search and couldn't find a similar topic, so hopefully I'm not treading on well trodden ground.
