I've installed the SketchUp Add-on, but I am not able to import the file. <BR /> I'm guessing the data is too dense (i.e. leaves, rock, etc.) and is therefore not coming over. So, I thought I would try and export my building to Google Warehouse, however, I'm not having any luck with that either. I don't find a way to save the building as a .skp file nor do I find a way to export it from ArchiCad (wiht the SketcUp Add-On). One thing I haven't tried is going to Google Warehouse and uploading the ArchiCad file from there. Has anyone had similar issues? <BR /> How did you resolve it? <BR /> Any help would be greatly appreciated! <BR /> Caitlin</T></DIV> Mon, 07 Jan 2008 21:22:55 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Trying-to-Import-Sketchup-Model-into-Archicad/m-p/112236#M11159 Anonymous 2008-01-07T21:22:55Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Trying-to-Import-Sketchup-Model-into-Archicad/m-p/112237#M11160 Caitlin, <BR /> Please add your platform and archicad version to your profile signature. <BR /> <BR /> As it happens I know you are on mac and also that there is not yet a sketchup translator for mac for AC11. However, if you do a search you will find several alternatives including exporting your sketchup model in .3ds format and then bringing that into archicad. <BR /> <BR /> IFC is another translator that would work. <BR /> <BR /> Have fun!
