I'm wondering if some of the more talented members of the Ruby Clan, would be interested to tackle a Ruby Script capable of the file formatOFF for import and export. Much like the STL Ruby which Didier made way back when. Unfortunately STL has limits on size, like 3ds.

OFF is well documented, for example:
http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/dataformats/off/

I am not aware of a size limit for .stl files. SketchUp may have trouble importing high-poly files, but that is not a limitation in the .stl format.

I made an .stl importer that uses a different method than Didier's and can import larger files faster.

SketchUp STL Importer

This importer lets you import both ASCII and binary STL files into SketchUp. It automatically detects the type of .stl file and imports acc...

STL is also limited to objects of max 32K?
