SKP Import for Pro/ENGINEER

SKP Import for Pro/ENGINEER is a useful SketchUp SKP file import add-in for Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire. It gives Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire the ability to import objects from SketchUp SKP files.

SKP Import for Pro/ENGINEER reads polygon mesh data stored in SKP files and imports it into Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire. A polygon mesh in a SKP file is comprised of a set of triangular faces. SKP Import for Pro/ENGINEER creates trimmed planar surfaces for each triangle and knits them together to create a body. If the polygon mesh is closed (i.e. it does not contain boundary edges) then SKP Import for Pro/ENGINEER will create a closed body feature, otherwise an open surface will be created.

SKP Import for Pro/ENGINEER is very easy to use. Once installed, it must be loaded into the Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire environment. Follow the simple instructions in the "ReadMe" document which can be found in the installation folder. Once loaded, it adds new commands to Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire and a submenu called "SKPImport" to the Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire menu.
