In fact i have found a plugin for Sketchup who repair the "lines broken colinear" so that solve my problem for the straight lines on the 3dSpace :)
If someone is interested that is that
http://www.crai.archi.fr/RubyLibraryDepot/Ruby/EM/repair_broken_lines.rb
For a 3D curve no linear seems that is more difficult to use it for build a surface :)
But maybe exist a new ruby script who knows? :)
From: Michael Gibson
It is strange that it breaks the lines in the first place... I wonder why they decide to do that?
They may process Line entities instead of Spline entities better. There are a lot of different ways to store stuff in a DXF file, right now that converter just exports everything as a Spline object, but for version 2 I want to add an option to output stuff like line, circle, and arc entities instead of everything as a spline. That might help for some situations.

In fact a simple line from Moi in 3dm converted in DXF is imported in Sketchup as a "Component"
So when you explode it you have these divided lines ! (Mysterious I am agree :)

Michael ,
You can also sign me up for version 2 .
By the way How do I turn screenshots of moi into a Jpeg so I can put them on the forum for documentation ?

Hi Paul, I usually use PaintShop Pro for doing that. There are other image utility programs you can also use, some of them free like IrfanView.
But it is also possible to do it just with stuff built in to Windows - you can push the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard to put a snapshot of the screen into the Window clipboard, and then run the old Windows paint program (pbrush.exe), and inside there do a Ctrl+V to paste the image in from the clipboard, and then save as a JPEG type image out of there.

Michael ,
I just discovered the print screen method a few minutes ago.
I'm more of technician then a graphic artist so I even have to learn the basic stuff .
Here's a jpeg of a basic bassguitar body I'll try to cncrout it in a scaled size version next week .
Thanks,
Paul

Hello Pilou ,
Thank you for the tutorial of the picture insert in Moi . I sometimes worked like this in 2d cad .
When you know certain measurements of the instrument or object in real you can scale the drawing to that and draw a real life instrument based on a picture .
It goes much faster in Moi than in my other cad programs .
Greets ,

Seems you find the trick :)
You rocks! Indeed that is the task ! :)
You are a genius! :)
But how do you make that ?
With the sandbox or with an another plugin?
You use the 3ds format?
I am curious of that :)
What is your process?
first:
curves lines arrive in Sketchup as a Component and when you explode the component curves will become separated
second : what function use for the Skin, Buble etc...
From: eddi
Hi Pilou
NOOOOO no genius, (toolman, HIHI) is a plugin from:
http://www.tensile-structures.de/index.html
Tool is time-limited, =mesh triangles are produced internally ("Sketchup > tab View > show hidden"),
only closed line-loop is accepted, work slowly with complex 3D-curve.
It gives still few useful tools for combination Moi+Sketchup.
My faforits gives afterwards.
From: Frenchy Pilou (PILOU)
Ok I know this plug ;)
So you just select the curves by a rectangular selection?
From: eddi
Eap, or additionally +STRG,
or with Ruby InvertSelection.rb , selector.rb and other
From: Frenchy Pilou (PILOU)
Is that plug works fine with google Sketchup 6? (not the 6 pro)
Edit :Yes all works fine in Google Sketchup 6! :)
Thx for the remember of this tool!
So crazzy forms can be insert in Sketchup from Moi with the Converter of Mikael ! :)
