Ok so an obvious Noob question. I am trying to export parts of a table to use with my Shaper origin. I have drawn out the project it is all 3D and looks great. Now I want to export the parts to an SVG to import to my Shaper Origin so I can make templates to cut out my parts. Shapr3D will not export the parts as drawn. I need to export the “Sketches” excuse my ignorance if I am referring to the process wrong. I need the part prior to being extruded. Then it will work. How do I get back to that ? Hopefully my explanation makes sense.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Yes that just imports as a single line it doesn’t work that way.

I only get single lines when i export my design to shaper origin. I’m sure i export the sketch as a closed design. It always worked for me. Something seems changed and i can’t figure it out

But every time all my designs come out as a single line instead of a closed one. And this way i can’t make a outside pass on my shaper origin

Hi Mike,

I attached an SVG… looks like you can’t do it that way. Here it is zipped:
