  • There are some possible multi-step routes - though the effort and quality may not be worth the trouble - some Sketchup models rely on images on faces rather than solid-models of details.

    I experimented with some Sketchup plugins to create STL files, which can then be read by AVEVA's ImPLANT-STL, read into PDMS, and then exported to a review file... You can extra steps to the process by using some of the extra export formats in Sketchup Pro, eg 3DS Max, and use that associated application to create STL.

    From what I have read, the STL to get by these routes is not a complete solid model, so ImPLANT-STL will probably just create lots of POGOs, which will not produce a wonderful Review model. I may also have missed other possibilities of getting STL into Review, I don't know all the Review import possibilities
