Having trouble finding out how to export into sketchup with textures? I’m new to this, so just checking if i’m making an error exporting it in STL?

Just trying to export my designs into sketchUp and then into Articad

Any help would be great

Thanks

Hi,

Currently only .shapr and .usdz exports contain textures.

Hi Lee,

None of these can be exported into sketch up can they?
