Export each layer to seperate 3d object
-
Howdy folks, I'm an artist/scripter for 3dsMax, and I'm dealing with quite a few sketchup models supplied from architects of late.
I'm looking for a way to rig up a script for sketchup that can export each visible layer to a separate 3ds file, with a few basic settings (primarily the no standalone edges, and by-layer)
Just wanted to check in here to see if something similar (Either calling the exporter, or parsing through all the visible layers) has already been done that I could take a look through before I start banging heads with ruby

I don't know of an exporter that will do what you want, though there are lots of different renderers out there that might give an option like this.
This might help. On exporting, you can choose to export by layer. So you could then have all the geometry separated by layers inside 3dsmax already. Then you could manipulate them there if you'd like.
Otherwise, looks like you might be writing your own ruby.
