Import a 3D model from SketchUp

❕ Use a Shapespark SketchUp extension to export your model.

(The extension will be installed automatically together with the Shapepark program. Both the SketchUp and Shapespark applications should be running during the export.)

To export your 3D model from SketchUp to Shapespark follow the steps:

1. Make sure the Shapespark application is running.

2. Open the SketchUp model.

3. Open the export dialog using the Export to Shapespark button from the toolbar or the Extensions > Shapespark > Export menu item.

   Importing models from SketchUp is handled through a dedicated SketchUp extension which is accessible from the SketchUp toolbar:

   

   or from the Extensions > Shapespark menu:
   
   

4. Configure the export:

    
   
   
   • Export type - Determines whether a new scene is created or an existing scene is updated.
   • Scene name - The name of the scene in Shapespark.
   • Include sun - If enabled, the SketchUp sun is exported. The sun shadows in Shapespark match SketchUp shadows.
     
     

5. Start the export and wait for it to finish.

6. The exported scene is now added to the list of scenes in Shapespark.
