Eneroth SVG Exporter is a SketchUp Ruby plugin designed to export the active viewport as a scalable SVG vector file for 2D workflows. This extension functions as a direct utility for SketchUp, enabling the conversion of 3D geometry into clean 2D vector data. It captures the current view perspective or parallel projection and translates edges and line-work into the SVG format. The tool manages the complexity of viewport data, ensuring that the resulting vector paths remain editable and scalable when opened in external software. It is a lightweight script that integrates directly into the SketchUp interface, providing a streamlined pathway for architects and designers to move from a 3D environment to high-quality vector-based documentation.

The download is a 10 KB file containing .ZIP files.

To use this plugin, install the extension within the SketchUp environment and access it via the extensions menu. Once the desired view is set, trigger the export command to generate the SVG file. Professionals typically use this for creating diagrams, detailed line drawings, or refined presentations where scalable, resolution-independent graphics are required for post-production or final layout in architectural portfolios and technical documentation.

This plugin is essential for architectural practices that require high-fidelity line-work for diagrams, site plans, and detail studies. It is particularly useful during the schematic design and design development phases when transitioning from 3D massing to 2D presentation graphics. By bridging the gap between SketchUp and professional illustration software, it allows designers to maintain precise vector control over their drawings. It is a staple tool for those who need to export clean, crisp line drawings for publication, signage design, or branding projects.
