SKP to XYZ
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to the SKP and XYZ interoperability and exchange that can help you with the SKP to XYZ conversion.
SKP SketchUp File
SKP (SketchUp) file format for a long period of time was maintained by Google, but currently it is actively developed by Trimble company. The SKP file allows to store reusable geometry component instances, named mesh groups and materials with texture images. It's important to note that the Win32 build is no longer available from the SKP file version 16 onwards. Therefore, it is recommended to use the Win64 build to convert the most recent SketchUp models. With the Autoconverter software you can save SKP files to any file version you require, from the early SKP version 3 to the recent 2022.
XYZ Point Cloud File
XYZ (Point cloud data) is a file extension used for ASCII text files with the point cloud data. Each row of XYZ file contains 3D point coordinates separated by a special character, usually a TAB and optionally 3D normal vector coordinates for that point. The normal vectors for the points are optional as it is possible to generate them on the fly based on the point cloud structure. Autoconverter is our XYZ file converter which allows you to automatically reconstruct the mesh surface from the point cloud data. Autoshaper is another XYZ file converter which allows you to reconstruct a smooth NURBS surface from scattered points stored in the XYZ file. The alternative file extension for point cloud data can be either ASC or TXT.
