As far as i know there is no easy method for getting polygon models (SU geometry) to NURBS models (solidworks geometry.)

What about http://www.allegorithmic.com/substances/library/substance-bitmap2material

Does anybody have any experience with this or is there some other good ones available nowadays?

Dave,
Thanks for the tip, I will try it! I would have never thought solution like this.

Thanks for the tips! I have tried different formats with simple model and so far I have been able to import 3ds- and obj-formats quite ok. It seems that 3ds are at least the doubble the size when I export them from Sketchup. Now the biggest obj-file that I have been able to import to Blender has been around 10 MB. With bigger files I always get memory problems. Have you also tried to import Collada-format? In Blenderartist Forum some people have had some success with Collada.

Anyway, at least I know that I can import part of my models, so maybe it is time to start learning Blender too. Anyway, I have feeling that Blender will never replace Sketchup in my workflow but for simple animations it could be something.

If you still run some import test please share the results.

For my purpose/need this density function is just perfect. Thanks again GreyHead! But right now I can't think any other way to benefit from this function when using MatrixProximity script. I will be fine with this unofficial version.

Well, Miikka (this sounds so Finnish to me! 😄)

Animating object in SU is rather cumbersome and needs some practice either with the "face camera" settings of components or "Layers". However there is an ever developing project of "Sketchty Physics" by Chris (see thread here) but to tell the truth I don't know whether it works with Kerky or not.

This is an old posting but seems to be an issue in 2017. Anyone have a solution for this?
If you are experiencing 'grey bars' problem, try using these resolutions: 1020, 2040, 4080 etc... (multiplied by two)
I don't know why but it works that way.

Also check this plugin for a better version with additional WebGL features: WebGL Cubic Panorama

Thanks azuby. I also found a description on my Mac by going into Terminal and typing "man ln". I figured that's what they were.
