      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.

        I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

          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.

              @solo:
              What is DE?

                    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.
