Plugin Request: Export as .amf
-
Microsoft's 3MF format is not a "secret" format. It is a .zip archive. In the archive is an XML file that is nearly identical to the .amf XML format. The archive also contains meta-data which can be used by applications. 3MF is practically .amf with support files. Not sure why people don't like it besides ignorance or having a prejudice against Microsoft.
Microsoft's 3d Builder also uses NetFabb technology for model repair.
For better or worse, 3MF has a better chance at becoming a standard then the current "standard" which doesn't seem to be going anywhere because it is Design by Committee.

I didn't see that, thanks Marcus.
Colors and textures seem fairly straight forward. There is a color hierarchy similar to SketchUp where Face (amf triangle) color over-rides Group/Component (amf Volume or object) color.
In amf, vertices may also have a color although I am not sure how that might be represented in SketchUp.
