Sketchup 7 and PaperVision


SketchUp 7 is out. I love the interface so I was hoping for a few more export options. Unfortunately it only exports .kmz files. It is a free application after all so who can really complain? We're fortunate enough that getting at the exported DAE file is just a few steps.

  1. Export 3D model from Sketchup
  2. Change the extension from .kmz to .zip
  3. Open the Zip and grab your DAE from the models folder
