The usage is explained below, for examples see this video. To use this function, a cutter diameter must be specified. If Symmetric Auto is activated, a corner relief is automatically added when the drawing is created. Here there are four options None, Symmetric, Asymmetric, Symmetric Auto. If no pockets are desired, this value can be set to 0.0.Ĭurrently has no influence, but saves the depth for Origin in the file. This prevents incorrect assignment as a pocket. Specifies the maximum depth to the selected surface at which pockets are still detected. This should be selected at least as large as the cutter is. Reflects the distance between the laid out elements. This is practical, for example, if the material to be processed has a fixed width, since then a separate row exists in the file for each raw material. This sets the point at which FaceSVG creates a new row.

Then we can set the following parameters in the new window:.

We can find the other settings options via right-click > FaceSVG > Settings.

The file is already properly colored and can be used directly on Origin.

Now we can save the SVG file and then load it onto Origin via the USB interface or ShaperHub.

Next, the layouts can be placed as desired, should they still need to be adjusted.

Then right-click on one of the generated faces and select FaceSVG > Write SVG Profile from the menu that appears.

Repeat this step for each face to be cut.

By right-clicking on the face to be cut, the plugin will appear under FaceSVG > Layout SVG Profiles.Alternative all bodies could combine as a group or components. Important: All bodies need to be lifted from the z = 0 so that there are no bodies there.Click “Install Extension” and select the downloaded.In SketchUp go to Window > Extension Manager.Also, the plugin does not run under SketchUp Pro in this version. Note for SketchUp Pro: The plugin cannot be downloaded via the internal extension manager as this is still running on version 2.2.1 and not on version 2.3.0, as in the link attached below. After that, the FaceSVG PlugIn can be used. Alternatively, the file created in SketchUp Web can be downloaded and opened with SketchUp Make.

Note for SketchUp Web: The FaceSVG plugin is not compatible with SketchUp Web and has no direct SVG export. These instructions are for SketchUp Make 2017, which is available for free on Windows and Mac in various languages as well as SketchUp Pro.
