It a mess after I import it and I dont know how to begin cleaning it. I’m new to this. I need to perform daylighting anaylsis on the model and need them to be solid with specific materials assigned. Please help me convert the model.
Thanks much
Hi @sreeja90,
A sketch-up model is consists of wireframes, shades, edge effects, and textures, but does not contain B-reps (solid). The most simple way is to redraw your model in Rhino. Have a look at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHiVcV-gokM&list=PLruLh1AdY-SgW4uDtNSMLeiUmA8YXEHT_&index=3.
A second option could be, to use the openstudio plugin for sketch-up, export this model to open studio and export a gbxml file out of Openstudio. The gbXML file can be imported in grasshopper with the “Honeybee_gbXML to Honeybee” component. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5NGj39XfJkhYUfCtKr-r_w.
Thanks a lot I’m trying this right now.
