For more control over export options, click Detailed Controls.ĥ. You generally want to move the slider closer to “Fewer Polygons”, but this option can oversimplify geometry to the point that it loses it’s form. Moving the slider to the left results in a simplified, faceted model, and to the right increases the model’s smoothness. The next dialog box gives you basic control over the model’s complexity. Under the General tab, select Write Surfaces As: Meshes and Write Meshes As: Meshes.

Once you get your model in, there are likely to be geometric issues that need to be cleaned up before the analysis is as accurate as it can be in Sefaira. Follow these steps to minimize file size and optimize the model for import into SketchUp. SketchUp is capable of importing two file types from Rhino: AutoCAD (.dwg /.dxf) and 3DS Max files (.3ds).
