SketchUp Pipeline question

TeamSDA

Hello,

I am trying to send a model over to Cinema4D to be smoothed out using hypernurbs (Cinema4D's version of Subdivide and Smooth). The model gets pulled apart and I am told by a Cinema4D forum that it is a problem in SketchUp, and that my geometry is not actually connected. Has anyone had this problem I assumed that inferencing connected geometry in SketchUp but now I am not sure anymore.

Thanks,
Vince

This is an example of what happens to all my SketchUp geometry in C4D after using Hypernurbs, as you can see it appears as if the geometry was never connected.

you have not in C4D before use Hypernurbs, something for automaticaly welding edges?
Post the SKP file for some test

Yes I have the sketchUp file, it is only a simple cube. I am exporting as a collada file if that helps at all. Also yes there is a connect polygon tool in Cinema 4D but it did not fix this problem. I understand that this is a SketchUp forum not a Cinema4D forum but no one at C4D understands or knows how to fix this problem they say it is a SketchUp issue.

Thanks Much,
Vince

I have not C4D but i had try your object
SU --> DAE-->Blender (i make nothing as I am not in feel with it )just export-->OBJ-->ZBrush: Import (with weld by security) = no problem
I can divide as I want! SU has nothing to do with that
So seems you don't use the good importation options in C4D!
