Hi fellow artists,

i'm relative new to 3dcoat and having a hard time with importing a sketchup model into 3dcoat (everytime some planes are missing), so my question is do i have to pay attention so something special before importing into 3dcoat or do i have to cliacxk some extra option when exporting them in sletchup?

 

 

Kind regads,

Sven Schilling

If I remember correctly Sketchup uses booleans and ngons to make it's models which can have unexpected results when importing them into other programs. I've only used Sketchup a few times. It's handy for creating quick greebles. I used to import the mesh first into Hexagon which can handle booleans and ngons and then triangulate the ngons to get a geometry that would work with other programs.
