      Is there a reliable method for converting .skp models from 3D Warehouse to all quads? In particular, I'm looking for a dedicated converter or a 3D content creation software that is known to be good at it.

      Thanks.

        converting your skp model to 3ds will cause the model to triangulate. i often open 3ds files in blender that were exported from sketchup. and i can see that the model by then is triangulated. i can't see no other way but editing the topology of your model manually (which is like starting from scratch) if you want them in quads because blender does not support n-gons.

          While other 3d modelling tools might support non-coplanar quads - SU does not. So in many cases it would be impossible to convert triangles to quads within Sketchup.
