Import from Chemdraw
-
Hi!
I would like to use Sketchup for drawing arrays of molecules and I wonder if there is a possibility to import drawings from chemdraw or similar programs.
Thanks for your comments!

Hello stefan,
It depends on the file format. If the Chemdraw file format is simple, open, and plain-text, there is a better chance of writing an importer.
Is the Chemdraw file format documented somewhere? Does chemdraw have any "export as" options?

I've managed to get molecule images into SU by using Accutrans 3D (Vivaty doesn't read VRML 1 files ) to convert VRML files into 3DS format then importing into SU.
