    How to preserve colors when importing Google Sketchup files into Inventor?

    Has anyone determined a conversion method to get 3D Sketchup files

    into Inventor... i.e. while still retaining the color of it's individual mesh

    elements?

     

    NOTE:

     

    After using Inventor Fusion to open Sketchup files in order to save for

    available formats in Inventor... the conversion that worked the best for

    us, was*.stl files... i.e. however, Sterelography files of course do contain

    any color information... and once imported into Inventor, it is a single mesh...

    so one cannot recolor individual elements in the assembly.

     

     

    Please use plain text.
