Post by: Shipaddict on September 03, 2007, 11:53:41: Export as DXF 3D mesh Then save it. Go to sketchup click import from the File menu. The import screen will come. At the bottom there's a drop down menu with file types you can import. Make sure you select .dxf ;)

Then it will appear! :D

Kind Regards,
Shipaddict ;)
