      Is there any method to import a mesh/polygone with it's colors from Rhino into Sketchup? So far I've only imported 3ds files for somplicity, but colors don't transfer.

        I do not use Rhino however there are a few things you can try...

        Create a folder for the imported mesh, save to folder, the materials should be saved there also, secondly in Rhino change name of materials to anything without symbols and 6 or less letters.

        If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

          Hmm... I think the attached image should explain a bit more of what my actual problem is. As you can see, it's not only the colors that I want to keep, but the pattern as well.

              Is that grasshopper window like Blender's "logical linking"(?) window? I don't know what it's really called.

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

                @Jeff: Thanks for the link, will try it out 😄

                @mitcorb: no idea, have never used blender. And do you mean the Grasshopper window as a whole (plugin) or the image sampler component inside it?

                  Hi, muscari:
                  I meant the group of boxes interconnected with the curvy lines. There is/was a window in Blender that showed the logical connections between various operations in a model. You could move these around, make new links between different boxes, etc. Since I never got past the curiosity stage with this, any moderately complex model viewed this way looked like total confusion to me, because only a database machine could have kept track of it in my opinion.

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

                        I've run into a bit of a problem, and it's that anytime Rhino tries to export this geometry as an .obj it freezes. Anybody know another way to import?

                          That is certainly grasshopper plugin for Rhino. You should save the file as native.3dm first and than export it as.obj.
