Sketchup to railworks with 3Dcrafter

Unread postby honeybaobao » Sun May 26, 2013 10:45 am

Hi everybody, I use for 3D design Sketchup, because this software is for me confortable and can be use for Trainz with the plugin, but unfortunately no plugin for kuju IGS, and I found one tutorial for my case in this website but unfortunately it is incomplete, and after googling no much results in fact nothing, except the tuto in here, who is very interesting

If someone is in the same case like me but resolved the problem or have a tuto, thanks a lot in advance, it is very important, and it's block my job actually **!!bang!!**

As I stated on the amabilis web site you would be better off just working in 3DC. There are issues that arise when exporting from SU to 3DC (inverted faces, fracturing, etc), which force you to learn 3DC anyway.

Hi papaxpress, thank you for your reply here and in amabilis, I plan to learn to use 3Dcrafter, but because I made already a few objects in sketchup, this is why I hope to convert it on IGS, for the rest, I will work directly from 3Dcrafter. By the way thank you for your url, I add it in my favourite, I will read it

I suceed to convert some objects from sketchup to IGS by 3Dcrafter, but of course no much polygones, maybe why, work fine

3Dcrafter I tried a little look a little more easier than 3DSmax for usingn, just I have to learn to think and imagine directly on 3D and not 2D to 3D like with Sketchup
