Plugin to export file google skecthup to XML format

[henda]

I need plugin to export google sketchup file to XML format appropriate to a data of other software

What is wrong with the built-in xml type exporters like .dae ? Have you tried making one then changing the file's suffix to suit and using one with this 'other app' ?

[henda]

You mean export to collada files?

But it not in format approprite and i need to convert it
can I use script ruby to convert it?

I'd seen also su2kt it convert to XML file

I need to export information like size , position materiel ...

[notareal]

Collada defines XML schema. http://www.collada.org/2005/11/COLLADASchema/ So .dae is .xml as much as SU2KT exports .xml or maybe even more.

[TIG]

A Collada 'dae' file has most of that info in it.
Perhaps if you export your .skp to .dae using Ruby's export() and then rename the file and use Ruby file/text manipulation on it so it then suits what you want, that might be the easier way...

[henda]

So you think that the easier way is to convert
to collada and after i should use ruby script to
manipulate it?

[TIG]

Assuming the format is quite similar - do you have an example of the format you are aiming for ?

Dig around this forum also. I think someone recently detailed in the developers forum how they got an xml writer hooked up through ruby so they can write xml files easily.
