What is an SKP File?
An SKP file is a three-dimensional model created by SketchUp, a user-friendly 3D design program. This file format encompasses a complete model including wireframes, textures, shades, and edge effects. SKP files are crucial for storing the architectural or design models that can be enhanced with components like doors or windows, which are reusable in other projects.
How to Open an SKP File
SKP files are primarily opened using SketchUp software. However, for those who wish to view SKP files without editing them, the SketchUp Viewer can be used. There are also other third-party tools available that support SKP files, such as Blender or Autodesk's AutoCAD with certain plugins or conversion tools.
Can SKP Files be Converted?
Yes, SKP files can be converted to other formats such as STL, OBJ, or DAE. This conversion can be done using SketchUp's native features or through various online and offline third-party tools.
