      We all know that we can just select a .skp file and see an image of what it is..

      I have thousands of .3ds files that Iam considering mass conversion to the .skp format just for this very reason...As I need them, I can then convert them back..Can anybody think of a reason why NOT to do this???

        Because it'll be really boring? and take a long time.

        Might be able to get someone to do a ruby for it though.

        I also have a feeling 3ds models tend to be triangulated when they come in to SU, although theres probably a n easy way of cleaning them up, it'll still add quite a lot of time to the whole process though.

            Sounds like a good plan.

              Deep exploration has a batch conversion option and it converts .skp to .3ds amongst many other formats.

              If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.
