How to Import Sketchup model into CNC machine
-
If I have Sketchup model (for eg: one Carcus) and I want it to import into the CNC Wooding machine but it doesn't support '.skp' format. Is there any solution that I can import it into the CNC machine or I can change it into the Machine compatible format(for eg: .dxf).

Plugin Import Export STL by Didier Bur will be maybe more suitable ?

Didier's is at http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=stl_import_export [suitable for <=v2013 only - it is 10 years old!]
There is a better/newer STL importer/exporter from Trimble - in the Extensions-Warehouse...
https://extensions.sketchup.com/en/content/sketchup-stlMost CNC machines will accept a 3d DXF - so with Pro do the export with the supplied exporter [best option], or with Make get a free DXF exporter plugin -
http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=dxf_export - although it's a bit old and limited ?Also http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=Fishelzon_GcodeTools is also a CNC G4 exporter, but I suspect it's old and maybe no longer supported/working ?

You can also use FormZFree who has import SKP then export from it in STL!
