Papervision3D

Exports the model, or selection, from Google SketchUp to Papervision3D.

Explodes the model, or selection, if it contains components or groups.

Triangulates the model, or selection, if it contains polygons larger than a triangle.

Exports vertices, and faces, to a Papervision3D file.

Note:

Explosion will merge overlapping faces.

Triangulation will take a few minutes for a large model, or a large selection.

Triangulation will not create extremely small faces.
