    • Solidworks/Rhino into Sketchup?

      Hi all -

      have a substantial Solidworks file (also in Rhino) which I need to convert to a sketchup file for use by another department

      needless to say the converted objects in sketchup are horrifyingly gigantically insanely polygon-dense and machine-choking huge files with which no one can work

      in need of recommendations as how best to convert the original files into relatively low-poly versions with which sketchup can work

      thanks in advance

      PS - am unable to upload the files involved for review because they are the studio's IP and can't be disclosed

      Did you try Freecad to Gcode Export? Or are you dealing with SKP files primarily?

      everything is starting as skp files

    • File Output for 5-Axis CNC Machining?

      Got an Art Director asking about using sketchup geometry to drive a 5-axis CNC machine. Have found apps advertised for preparing SU files for the purpose but the process looks torturous and so far as I know SU is not a favored tool for the modeling -> CNC pipeline.

      Does anyone have recommendations for a process that works well for moving sketchup geometry over to the CNC side, and/or any typical constraints or difficulties encountered in doing that?

      Thanks in advance.
