Inserting google sketch files

[mike660r]

Anyone know how to insert google sketch files to a post?

 

[GSMguy]

gotta upload them as a jpeg to photobucket.

 

[mike660r]

ahh.. That was my next guess

 

[mike660r]

How do you convert them to .jpg?

 

[GSMguy]

dunno ive never used sketchup haha

i have seen sketchups in peoples galleries before on photobucket

try "save as"???

 

[mike660r]

I tried the saveas and that doesn't work..

Do you have photoshop?, load the file in that program and then hit save as jpeg.

I tried to open it in photoshop and it errored out that it is not the right type of file.

Save the image to your desktop, then upload it to photobucket.

 

[Kreeger1]

ahhh haaa!

 

[mike660r]

Ok, so it will always be that small then?

 

[Tswifty]

Couldn't tell ya that.

OK ... I had to download and install Sketchup to figure it out.

Click "File" > Export > 2D Graphic > click the drop down box where it says .png file and choose .jpg. > name it and save to hard drive.

Then upload to hosting site.

You getting closer to the purchase date or just looking at how it would fit?

Thanks Kevin, I knew if anyone would chime in with a solution it would be you.

I am getting closer and I wanted to see how it would fit in the room. Since the price if steel is on the rise. I have been debating on going ahead and building the stand this winter. My delema is wether or not to go with the 8 ft wide tank or not. As you can see it takes up a large footprint in the room. I have the tank 8" off the back wall to accomodate for the space required for external overflows. I wanted to see how it would fit in the room with the externals in place. I have also been looking at the new Marineland deep demension 300. The cost on it is much cheaper than a custom tank. It would be a comprimise to go with the smaller tank and I don't know if I would end up regretting not waiting till the time is right to go ahead with the larger 400.
