For Max users

Thanks Sean; I've been waiting for this announcement for a while to post about it in "The Daily SketchUp". I guess it will enhance the workflow of many-many users. Hope the features listed all work well.

"The Connection Extension for 3ds Max Design 2010 features a powerful new SKP file translator that enables you to bring SketchUp scenes into 3ds Max Design with a high degree of data preservation. And 3ds Max Design can now read thousands of free SketchUp models from the 3D Warehouse section of the Google website. The SKP translator includes:
* Support for the double-faced materials workflow available in SketchUp, so arbitrary surface orientations don’t cause models to appear to be missing faces when displayed in 3ds Max Design. * Preservation of original pivot and scaling values of objects and instances, so designers don’t have to redo work. * Consolidation of material references. Multiple uses of the same SketchUp material are collected and referenced back to a single material, saving designers time if a change is required."
Makes me wish I would've paid the subscription fees. Sketchup getting some respect from Autodesk....this is a big credibility boost for the software.

Is that only available to subscribers?

Alas, it seems so:

Subscription program customers.
IMO this is a way they (think they) can gain customers back.

We got subscriptions for AutoCAD and Revit, ...but I guess that doesn't count..? -
Horray! Finally.
