Hi @TheSpas26,

You can export a SketchUp file in STL file format and import it to Shapr3D.

However, as SketchUp is a Mesh modeling software, while Shapr3D is a direct modeling software, the designs you import to Shapr3D from it will be only editable with Boolean operations, such as “ **Union** ”, “ **Subtract** ” and “ **Intersect** ”.

If you wish to get to know more about the main difference between SketchUp and Shapr3D, please refer to the following article: [What’s the difference between Shapr3D and SketchUp?](https://support.shapr3d.com/hc/en-us/articles/360014216559-What-s-the-difference-between-Shapr3D-and-SketchUp-)
