      See if Meshlab can do something? But you may need the file converted to a neutral type like obj. Again, just some ideas?

          Hi, tibet:
          Thanks for your comment. I see that C4D is a full featured suite of 3d tools, and the file type could be proprietary. I notice that the usual group of responders are conspicuous by their absence?

            Theres no direct c4d import into a SKP... you should look at the possible c4d export possibilities and then import one of those compatible file formats into a SKP...
            So you need to ask questions on a c4d forum about what formats you can export to... and find one that SUp can accommodate...

              That would not work I am afraid as Tibet does not seem to have c4 at all

                So, his best bet is to find a an app that reads c4d files and exports as something that can import into a SKP - either freeware or something he does have ?
                perhaps something like

                Blender
                After Effects
                Unity
                Inventor
                3DSmax
                and then other apps to convert some of their outputs to SKP compatible format ?

                  Thank you for stepping in. It doesn't take much for me to get "out of my depth"
                  I notice that Meshlab does not list c4d filetype. Not sure if Blender can *port it.

                    Bender does c3d but I don't think it handles c4d... 😕

                      I have both C4D and DE, so I can import and convert to .skp. Let me know what you need.

                              hi, thanks for reply.
                              i´ve just found some free models in this format, and i like to import them into sketchup.
                              there´re plenty of posts on the net how to export sketchup files to cinema 4d, but none via versa 😄
                              cheers!

                                I'm having a problem with this file, My DE says it's defective and C4D does nothing (opens and there is nothing there).

                                  hi solo,
                                  i´m sorry to hear about the problem with the file.
                                  it comes from this site:
                                  http://tomaslat.nolimit.cz/3d-models/?offset=10
                                  can you try to open it in another suitable program please?
                                  thanks!

                                    Hi, I used C4D for a long time, but now it is so expensive that I had to change my SW. But I have collection of C4D models and I had solve how to export some models to SU. I found one solution:

                                    Basically I use demo version of C4D and Riptide plugin for Cinema. Demo version of Cinema opens C4D and is capable running plugins all the time. Riptide plugin is capable of importing / exporting OBJ very well.

                                    I don't know if it works with very last Cinema demo-version, I use older demo version and Riptide.
