Archicad to SketchUp export?

[Anonymous]

I was wondering if there is a way of exporting the Archicad project and importing it into the Sketchup?

I know there is a plugin for the opposite export (from SketchUp to Archicad)

But what about from Archicad to Sketchup?

Thanks.

if you've installed the plugin:
When in 3d view, save as ....you should have the *.skp as file format choice.

or export the 3d in *.3ds format.

I tried using the .3ds export from Archicad and import to SketchUp but I am not satisfied with the results.

I did installed the plugin but there is no .skp extension in the Archicad 12 Save as 3D window. Take a look:

Also when I look at the Sketchup folder where the plugin files should be, there is only the Archicad IMPORT plugin, not an export one.

Sorry.

which option do you have in Archicad 15? Save as .skp ?
Where can I download the plugin for Archicad 15 that enables that?

yes i have save as *.skp as file format when in 3d.
the choice should be enabled by installing the google earth plugin...here.
