Make Orthographic Views

This is untested on the Mac - please conact me if you have any problems.

Make Ortho Views creates a set of Orthographic views from the selected Group or Component.

This is typically done prior to performing a 2D export to CAD for dimensioning and finish work.

Make Ortho Views assumes the selected object is already aligned to SketchUp's Front View.

Select the object and press the Toolbar button:
(There's a menu option also in Plugins > JF Tools > Make Ortho Views)

Make Ortho Views will setup the view including setting the Camera to Parallel Projection and zoom in on the created objects, where you can create a Scene if you desire.

Now you are ready to dimension and export using the 2D option.

The ISO view which is created should not be used for dimensionsing, and is presented as a convenience.

Press UNDO to remove the copies.

Installation

Unzip the files and place in the Plugins folder.
