HTML3D Exporter – Free SketchUp extension
-
Hi,
I've been working on a small SketchUp extension for exporting a model as a single interactive HTML 3D file.
The idea is simple: export the model, send the HTML file to someone, and they can open it directly in a web browser. No SketchUp, no viewer to install, no server and no Internet connection required.


The current version exports SketchUp materials and textures and includes a few tools in the HTML viewer: Tags with Visible / Transparent / Hidden states, Light/Dark mode, edges, standard views and parallel/perspective viewing.


I've also added support for native SketchUp Dimensions and Leader Text. Leader Text annotations appear in an Annotations panel and clicking one takes you directly to that area of the model.

An optional colored PLY point cloud can also be embedded in the same HTML file. This was particularly useful for my own work with scan data (like iPhone Lidar) and SketchUp models.
Everything needed by the viewer, including Three.js, is embedded in the generated HTML, so the exported file is completely standalone and works offline.
This is the first Free release, so I'm interested in seeing how it behaves with other SketchUp models and hardware. If you try it and find something that doesn't export or display correctly, let me know.
