Heres a fully commented way to convert your Sketchup files into a DBO object. This is handy for loading a sketchup file into one dbpro object rather than Convseo's method, hundreds of objects!

This is useful for the fact that you can control a single object much easier and faster than you can a hundred objects.

The main reason I spent the time with this is because Convseo even splits small models into pieces, why have a small sketchup model take multiple dbpro objects? When one object is cleaner to control.

Underdue,

Nice sample - it looks useful and seems quite simple. Thanks for sharing your hard work with the community.

Hi UnderDue,

Great idea, it never occurred to me to do this.

I am currently working on a general tool to export ConvSEO objects, may I employ your code to give the user a second save option (IE Save as single object)? I will of course credit you in the readme.txt.

Ta,

RR
