A former co-worker was an architectural student who used the pro-version of sketchup for her renders in 3-d apps...I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way or a patch to use the free version to save in a format available for use in vue 6, (obj. Lw. 3ds. shd.) sketchup saves in a .skp format. I have Hex which accepts/converts several formats, however .skp is not one of them. I'd appreciate any assstance anyone may have to offer, thanks

I haven't used it myself yet, but maybe regularfry's (shaxam.com) LWO exporter will work for you...MG

PS
I think it currently only works in SketchUp 6.

This recent post gives a method, I have not tried it myself.

 Doesn't the latest version[7] come with an obj exporter...I think it's right off on of the top menus..plugins dropdown.. ...

 

Once in a while I look around,
I see a sound
and try to write it down
Sometimes they come out very soft
Tinkling light sound
The Sun comes up again

I think you will find that the obj exporter only comes with the expensive Pro version.

Somebody did a Ruby script for the free version.

  1. Do a Google Search for "OBJ exporter Sketchup" - there are two - one which deals with textures a lot better than the other.
  2. If you export a Sketchup model to Google Earth (a .kmz file)  it's actually a ZIP file containing a Collada version of the mode. Export to KMZ, change file extension to .ZIP, open the file and extract the .DAE (Collada) model from the ZIP file.
