Reduce model complexity
-
I have a sofa model that has been created in Fusion (converted to .skp) it contains millions of triangle faces to describe the curvy cushion shapes. Is there a way in Sketchup (or a free plugin) that will reduce the face count whilst retaining most of the shape?

Import it into Blender
Add a decimator modifier and set the Collapse ratio to 0.1and check the Symmetry box.
Apply the modifier and repeat until you get it to where you want it.

Learning to use Mesh Wrapper efficiently will pay dividends if you deal with much hi-poly content. It will make for a much neater and more editable model than a savage poly-reduction.
