What is Skp Editor - Perfect Export And Import Sketchup File(.Skp)?

Skp Editor connects Blender with SketchUp's .skp format in both directions. It can export Blender scenes to .skp and import .skp files back, keeping the result editable. The add-on carries texture across the exchange, including node-based texture, and preserves UV and scene data.

When importing a .skp file, the workflow supports adjusting material values without adding new texture. It works with render scenes and has been used with the Cycles and Eevee render engines. A free version is available without texture and merge functionality.

Documentation is provided with the add-on, and a demo video is available. Skp Editor is released under the GPL license and supports Blender versions 3.2 through 5.2.

Frequently asked questions

Which Blender versions does Skp Editor support?

Skp Editor supports Blender versions 3.2 through 5.2, covering a wide span of releases. It has been used with the Cycles and Eevee render engines and works with render scenes. If you run a Blender version within that range, the add-on is intended to function for both exporting Blender scenes to SketchUp .skp files and importing .skp files back into Blender. Check the developer's page to confirm details for your specific setup before installing.

Does Skp Editor keep textures when moving files between Blender and SketchUp?

Skp Editor supports texture during the exchange, including node-based texture, and preserves UV and scene data. When importing a .skp file, the workflow lets you adjust material values without adding new texture. Note that a free version is available without texture and merge functionality, so texture handling is tied to the full add-on. See the developer's page for the exact scope of texture and material support in each version.

Is Skp Editor free?

Skp Editor is listed as free in this catalog, and it is released under the GPL license. A free version without texture and merge functionality is also offered on the developer's page, separate from the full add-on that includes texture and merge.
