      Hi All-

      I've got another 3D printing question for you as it pertains to sketchup. Although this is probably more of a basic transcoding question. I need to get this model out of rhino and in to sketchup > netfabb > simplyfy3D >. I would like to preserve the scale, if there is any reasonable scale to begin with...is there? I know nothing about rhino. I do know that when I bring it in to sketch as a .3ds or a .stl it is huge. So if there is a scale in rhino, how it it to preserved when importing into sketchup?

      Please see attached files.

      thank you,

      -rev

        Size (weight) of a model file is not pertinent In 3D printing
        Only count if the real size can be made by the 3D printing used !
        more than 30 cm becomes extra size and price! πŸ˜„
        Moi3d is more funny and easy than Rhino (fully compatible) and less price and also cool with 3D printing! (Import OBJ etc...save also in SKP, 3DS etc...) 😎
