SKP (SketchUp)
Trimble SketchUp is a highly versatile 3D modeling software that generates 3D models in the .SKP format. When preparing your SketchUp models for use with SiteVision, note the following:
-
For best visualization in SiteVision apply material textures to individual object faces.
-
Do not create multiple surfaces at the same location, such as two different faces on a wall. When models with two surfaces in the same location are drawn by SiteVision the display engine will try to draw both surfaces and their assigned colors which will result in flickering of the model in the area of that surface.
-
Organize your model by using components. You can create a component by selecting an object and right-clicking to access the Create Component function. Organize your components by Tags to allow simpler selection / viewing in SiteVision. SiteVision will sort model elements into layers based on the SketchUp Tag.
-
To display attributes you must be using SketchUp Pro. From the Components created right-click on your component and select Dynamic Components\Component attributes. Then add the attributes as required.
