      HI, I "lost" an SKP file for whatever reason, however I still have the .Rof file (this is the file extension for raylectron) I asked the question on a forum and received the following reply:

      "We've never attempted to do this but I think it can be done. The data in the ROF file is text, so it can be read, converted and stored as an OBJ where you can load the OBJ into SketchUp using a third party plugin"

      Is anyone able to talk me trough this?

      Cheers

        Why not apply your answer ? 😉
        With any Text editor and Import OBJ by TIg ?
        I suppose conversion is just a "cut" in the data...
        and the "store" just save as name_file.obj

          It's true that both formats are saved in simple text format...what appears to be a list of vertex coordinates; but it's how those vertices are referenced that appears to be different.
          I think a translation from rof to obj would require at the very least some kind of batch Find and Replace script.
