PDF Export Fails

As suggested to address bad fills when printing to PDF, I am trying export. However, when I do that I get a dialog saying:

Failed to Save.
Failed to save as {filename}.
The writing plug-in failed.

What should I try to get around this?

What build of Mac Rhino are you running?
Please run the Rhino “SystemInfo” command and post the results.

Thanks.

That looks okay.

If it were me, I would reset my Rhino PLIST:

Any luck?

Thanks,

I got something to print. But I have some question.

First everything is clunky in the PDF.

Deck Plans 3d Deck V2 05.pdf (183.7 KB)

Second, I did zoom extents before export

but if I select extents for the PDF export, nothing shows up:

Third, after doing a couple of exports, I am getting the same error again.

We need the car before the crash.
Please post the 3DM file

Thanks

I’ll upload. Now I am in a state where resetting the preferences is not helping.
