The file format used by SketchUp.
To open, import, insert, and attach a file as a worksession
1. | From the File menu, click Open or Import. |
2. | In the Open dialog box, select the supported file type. |
3. | If the import can be configured, click | to specify import settings.
4. | Click Open, or press Enter. |
Note: When Rhino opens a non-3dm model, the title bar reflects the name of the model that was opened. When the model is saved for the first time, this model name is entered as the file name.
SKP Import Options
Import faces as
Trimmed planes
Imports objects as planar trimmed NURBS surfaces.
Mesh
Imports the objects as mesh faces.
Join on import
Determines whether or not objects will be joined on import.
Edges
Joins edges.
Faces
Joins faces.
Weld angle ___ degrees
Sets the angle between faces to determine welding.

Applies textures to the imported mesh.
Always use these settings. Do not show this dialog again.

To save as or export a Rhino model
1. | From the File menu, click Export Selected or Save As. |
2. | In the dialog box, the Files of type list displays the currently supported file types for export. |
3. | In the Files of type box, select the supported file type. |
4. | In the File name box, select or type a file name. |
5. | Specify what is to be saved. |
Save small
Though clearing the render meshes makes the file smaller, it will shade and render more slowly the next time you open the file.
Save geometry only
Saves geometry objects only. No layers, materials, properties, notes, or units settings are saved.
This is similar to exporting the objects. A new file is made, but it does not become your active Rhino model.
Save Textures
Embeds external textures used by materials, environments and decals into the model.
6. | If the export can be configured, click | to specify export settings.
7. | If the file type creates only mesh objects, in the Polygon Mesh Objects dialog box, specify the mesh settings. |
SKP Export Options
