Create 2D wall elevations from SketchUp and batch-export DXF.
Draw a frame over the wall area you need, control the front and back capture depth, preview the result, save multiple elevations and export the selected set as individual DXF drawings.

- Front + back cut planes
- Saved elevation manager
- One DXF per elevation

Control exactly what each elevation captures.
A wall elevation is more than a front view. Mash Elevations gives you a visible frame and depth limits so you can isolate the relevant section of the model before producing the DXF.
Visual frame picker
Draw the export boundary directly over a wall and snap the frame to model points.
Front cut plane
Exclude geometry that sits in front of the intended wall-elevation capture zone.
Back cut plane
Limit how far behind the wall frame the elevation should inspect.
Saved elevation manager
Edit, duplicate or remove stored frames before selecting the batch to export.
DXF layer choice
Keep exported geometry separated by group or combine it on layer 0, depending on the CAD workflow.
Optional CSV area takeoff
Generate an additional CSV with square-metre areas for the model items configured for takeoff.
Build a wall-elevation set in four steps.
Each saved frame becomes a reusable elevation definition. Review the set, choose which definitions belong in the issue and export all selected drawings together.
Frame the wall
Draw a rectangle over the portion of the wall that should appear in the elevation.
Set the depth
Adjust the front and back cut planes to remove unwanted foreground or background geometry.
Preview and save
Inspect the frame and cut limits, then save the elevation for later editing or duplication.
Batch-export DXF
Select the saved elevations required for the issue and create one DXF file for each.
Designed for repeated interior documentation.
The tool is useful when a project contains several walls that must be framed consistently, reviewed before export and delivered as separate editable CAD drawings.
Interior elevations
Frame walls with furniture, openings and fixed elements while controlling how deep the view reaches.
Millwork coordination
Export wall-facing geometry for continued annotation or coordination in a CAD environment.
Batch project updates
Keep a list of saved frames so multiple elevations can be regenerated after the SketchUp model changes.

Mash Elevations questions.
Answers for interior designers, architects and drafters evaluating a SketchUp-to-DXF wall documentation workflow.
How can I create 2D wall elevations from SketchUp?
Mash Elevations lets you draw a frame over a wall, adjust the capture depth, preview the result, save the elevation and export it as DXF.
Can I export several SketchUp wall elevations at once?
Yes. Save multiple wall elevation frames, select the ones needed and batch-export them. Mash Elevations creates one DXF file per elevation and shows export progress.
What do the front and back cut controls do?
The front and back cut planes limit the depth of geometry captured by an elevation. Use them to exclude objects that sit too far in front of or behind the wall area you want to document.
Can I change an elevation after saving it?
Yes. Saved elevation definitions can be edited, duplicated or removed before export.
How are DXF layers organized?
You can choose to separate output by group or place the exported geometry together on layer 0, depending on how the drawing will be handled in CAD.
What does the optional CSV contain?
The optional takeoff file reports areas in square metres for model objects identified for that workflow. It is an additional output alongside the elevation DXF files.
