      Hi There!

      I was wondering, is there any way to export a SketchUp model as a point cloud?

      The closest I have came across by browsing the forums is a combination of the
      'Drape Cpoints' plugin over here (http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=21379) and the 'Export Cpoints to CSV' plugin over here (http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=354365#p354365).

      This approach is however undesirable because of the way 'Drape Cpoints' works. See attached picture.

      Any help would be much appreciated!

            Alas, your plugin does not work with Su 2016, some break error while opening SU.

            Should it be other solution to export skp model as a point cloud, or a new version of your plugin?

            I would be most obliged for your reply and any piece of advice,

            Regards with many thanks
