SKP to IFC: Resources
Refer to the following resources for additional support on the interoperability and exchange of SKP and IFC file formats. They will assist you in transitioning from SKP to IFC files.
- Automesher Desktop Application for Windows to Convert 3D File Formats
- Converting IFC to SKP File with Autoconverter
- Convert IFC File to Different Schema Version
- Convert 3D Mesh Files in the Batch Mode
- Convert SketchUp SKP Models with Component Instances to STEP
SketchUp SKP File
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.
IFC File
The IFC (Industrial Foundation Classes) file extension is commonly used in AEC (Architecture Engineering Construction) software, including applications like Revit from Autodesk or SmartPlant 3D by Intergraph. The IFC file format can store a wide range of information, including model geometry, measurement units, reusable geometry component instances, material colors with alpha values, assembly structure with component names, and generic BIM (Building Information Modeling) data. With our software, Autoconverter and Automesher Application, you can open and save IFC geometries with custom properties and convert them to various other 3D file formats.
