Imagine you have a SketchUp file which contains a library of chairs and you only want to import a few of them for your scene. If a node is set to hidden when it is last saved in the SketchUp file, Unity will not import the node. Unity is able to determine if a node should be imported by it’s visibility setting in the SketchUp file. The materials imported from the SketchUp file will have the SketchUp file name prefixed into the material’s name. The textures imported from the SketchUp file will maintain its original filename when it is imported into Unity. When the model is imported, the materials and textures for the model are imported into 2 separate folders relative to where the file is imported to namely ‘Material’ for the material of the model and ‘Texture’ for the textures from the model. The hierarchy of the SketchUp file is maintain via Unity’s GameObject hierarchy. Once the model is imported, you can place then use the model in your scene by placing it into your scene. ‘Import New Asset…’ via Project window’s context menu

from the menu barĭrag and drop the file into the Project window There are 3 ways you can import a SketchUp fileĬlick on Assets -> Import New Asset.

Glossary of Terms TermĪ node is a generalisation of Entity, Group, and Component Instance in SketchUp.Ī coordinate system to identify a position on geographic system. To overcome this problem, Unity now supports importing SketchUp file directly into Unity without the need for conversion and allowing user to access certain properties within the SketchUp file within Unity which is not previously possible. To use a SketchUp model for visualisation in Unity, user will previously need to convert it to an intermediate format which Unity supports and use the converted format in Unity.
