Convert DAE to SKP: The Necessary Intel

DAE to SKP: Resources

Listed below are additional resources pertaining to the interoperability and exchange of DAE and SKP files. These will be valuable in guiding you through the DAE to SKP files conversion.


Collada DAE File DAE

The DAE (Collada) file extension, an acronym for Digital Asset Exchange, is the primary file format used for exchanging digital assets such as textures, mesh geometries, and texture images across various 3D software products. The DAE format has the ability to store reusable geometry component instances, multiple texture images with corresponding texture coordinates, color transparency, and named groups hierarchy. Our DAE file converters, Autoconverter and Autoshaper, utilize the OpenCOLLADA open framework, facilitating seamless processing of your DAE files. This framework empowers us to read and write to the Collada DAE file format in an efficient and user-friendly manner.


SketchUp SKP File SKP

The SKP (SketchUp) file format, initially maintained by Google and now actively developed by Trimble, allows for the storage of reusable geometry component instances, named mesh groups, and materials with texture images. It’s important to note that starting from the SKP file version 16, the Win32 build is no longer available, making it advisable to use the Win64 build for converting the latest SketchUp models. With our Autoconverter software, you can save SKP files in any required version, from the early SketchUp 3 to the most recent SketchUp 2022.
