Importing Sketchup Files To Rhinoceros
Rhinoceros: How do I export a model? If you are using an earlier version of Lumion or Rhino, please export a SketchUp file from Rhino (.SKP). Does anyone know of an easy way to translate Rhion 3dm format files to something Sketchup can import, w/out actually having a working version of Rhino?
There is an exporter available for Rhino 4.0 for SketchUp. Adobe Indesign Cs6 Free Download Portable. The importer installs by default, but you need this package for export.
It may fail with very large models. And it will not solve the problem with textures in exported files. With regard to textures.this is where Rhino falls down, and I've spoken with the McNeel people about it and the local rep explained that they are working on it. Surfaces and meshes that have been textured with bitmaps in Rhino itself will not hold their textures or their mapping on export to anything. The experienced Rhino users I know well (if they are using the Rhino Renderer or a similar plugin) often texture objects 'by layer', not 'by object', and then export their models as DWG or DXF to mesh modelers (and this includes SketchUp). The ACAD formats, unlike 3DS, will lose their materials but they will hold layer status and layer color.
In the non-Rhino modeler they 'select by layer' and apply new textures and texture mapping using that organizational strategy. Because of this problem, it most often makes sense to import SketchUp meshes into Rhino for rendering, as opposed to the other way around. The mapping tools, lighting tools, and the Rhino Renderer are quite basic but reliable, as long as you use them to produce output from Rhino. Download Anime Gintama Season 2 Sub Indo Transformer. You can also (at least for now) download free betas of several renderers for Rhino, including Brazil and FlamingoNXT. Incidentally, if you are exporting anything from Rhino 4 to SketchUp via some mesh format, do yourself a favor: Select the objects in Rhino you want to export and type the command 'ExtractRenderMesh'. Use Rhino's selection tools to 'Select Mesh' and then 'Export Selected' those meshes.
The SketchUp version is SketchUp Pro 2014, version 14.0.4900. Rhinoceros is version 5 SR7 64-bit. Once you have your model the way you want it in SketchUp, export it to the DWG format.
Selecting any old NURBS object and then either using the 'Mesh' command or the exporter itself and their respective dialogs to create meshes is much less likely to get you a decent mesh copy of what you see on the screen than simply asking Rhino to make the display mesh 'real' and exporting that. The quality of the extracted display mesh matches whatever display properties you had set for the document prior to extraction. (' _DocumentPropertiesPage _Mesh' is the command for getting to those properties.).
