ViewportBuster (PNG-Exporter) Liberate your PNG-Export! What is it? ViewportBuster is a small, custom-built plugin for SketchUp (Windows versions) that solves a big limitation: It gives you precise, pixel-perfect control over your scene-based png-exports – even beyond SketchUp's viewport limits. Why should I use it? The Windows version of SketchUp restricts image exports to what’s visible in the current viewport. ViewportBuster breaks those chains and hands you full control.

Instructions 1. After installing the extension, launch SketchUp (Windows version). 2. Go to Extensions > ViewportBuster to open the tool window. 3. Use the functionality by adjusting one or more preset resolutions (width × height). 4. If wanted, click Save All Presets to verify that the done presets get saved. 5. Choose a preset and click Export your PNG to initiate an image export. 6. SketchUp 2025 compatibility confirmed; plugin is Windows-only due to system-specific export handling.

[Note: for full transparent background export ‘Sky’ and ‘Grund’ must be deactivated in SU's style window]
