Go to the Extension Manager in Sketchup (Window> Extension Manager) and click Install Extension. I usually save it in the Downloads folder on my computer where I’ve created another folder with SketchUp stuff. GK_Postscript_PlotĬlick the link above, then click Download to save it to your computer (don’t worry about the “file type not supported” message). If you do not want to go through the trouble of downloading Ghostscript, Ghostview and CutePDF Writer, the postscript can also be converted to a PDF online through any PS to PDF converter for free. I know, it’s a lot but it works and I’ve been using each of these for years without issue! CutePDF Writer This program will convert the postscript file to PDF in Ghostview.


SketchUp is a super-easy program to use, and this is not a how-to on the basics. I learned how to create printable templates in SketchUp years ago and it has changed the way I can create easy to build furniture plans! I like being able to create plans with fancy details such as fancy shelf brackets or curvy legs for dressers and tables, and being able to create a template makes cutting the design element a whole lot easier.
