@MHBrown - you may already be aware, but Service Packs 5 & 6 are available for 2018. Your OP said that you’re using 2018 SP4.

Nope — no progress on this being added. Seeing that this has not been implemented in many years of asking, I have the feeling that it's not a high-priority wish-list item.

Here’s a link to the wishlist that @Kevin McAllister was referring to:

I think it’s just that the fill patterns are comprised of only black-and-white pixels so they are always going to appear pixelated. EDIT: There is a ‘Print Patterns at On-Screen Resolution’ setting on the Print dialogue box that may resolve this, try deselecting this option to get the higher printer resolution: Printing A File

Perhaps try changing the Fill Attributes of the walls and floor objects to either a different fill pattern -OR- to a hatch pattern; To me that’s the main thing that looks pixelated. The rest of the line-work seems pretty crisp.

Which version of macOS are you running?

@Jim Smith - I don't have any practical advice to offer, but I did find an older related thread that might offer some insight:

No worries - I certainly understand your frustration. Hopefully, implementing SketchUp v2018 Import in Vw2019 just fell through the cracks and it can be implemented in a SP (so that we don’t have to wait until Vw2020)

@ericjhberg - I agreed with your OP and I already up-voted it as well (as of right now the lone vote of support). I have not confirmed this personally, but I read in this support thread that SKP files downloaded from the free SketchUp for Web are version 2017 files; which might be an immediate short-term solution until Vw2019 supports importing SKP 2018 files.

I remembered an older thread about Heliodons creating ‘green’ shadows which may or may not be related to this current thread:

Agreed — SketchUp 2018 was released in November 2017, which should have been enough time to get this into Vw2019. The Vw2019 Help File says it imports SketchUp version 4 through 2017, so if you have access to SketchUp 2018 you can ‘Save As...’ the 2018 SKP file down to 2017 SKP (or older).

@Jim Smith Perhaps it was this thread? In case this wasn’t the one you were thinking of, I found it by searching google images for “plan site:forum.vectorworks.net”.

The image sizes of the screen caps you linked are very small (at least for me), but similar issues with PDFs with garbled text have been reported before. (I thought it had been fixed as of Vw2019, but perhaps not). Maybe one of these threads below might help you find a solution other than having to ‘rasterize text’: https://forum.vectorworks.net/index.php?/topic/44624-pdfs-printing-in-gibberish/ https://forum.vectorworks.net/index.php?/topic/51085-font-mapping-when-exporting-fonts-on-pdf-become-pixelated/ And a KB article on how to validate fonts on macOS:

In my case, the opposite is true. My VSS subscription renews at the beginning of September, about 2-3 weeks before the new full-version release. Based on the not-quite-ready state of the past several full-version releases, I don’t bother installing the new version until at least SP1 comes out, and by that time I am past the 30-day window for a full refund.
