SketchUpNET

C++/CLI API Wrapper for the Trimble(R) SketchUp(R) C API. http://www.sketchup.com/intl/en/developer/api-terms-of-service.pdf

This library adds .NET support to the existing SketchUp C-API. It makes most SketchUp C-API features available in .NET and therefore accessible in C# or VB applications. You can download a pre-built release of the library or build it yourself from scratch.

Code-Examples

This Repo contains three sample projects using SketchUpNET in C#.NET:

• SketchUpForDynamo: An Autodesk's(R) Dynamo Node Package allowing you to read/write SketchUp files from Dynamo.
• SketchUpForGrasshopper: A Set of Components for McNeel's(R) Grasshopper(R) allowing you to read/write SketchUp files from GH.
• SketchUpNETConsole: A sample C# console application using SketchUpNET.

If you want to build your own application using the SketchUp API take the following steps:

Loading a Model

SketchUpNET.SketchUp skp = new SketchUp();
skp.LoadModel("myfile.skp", true);
foreach (var srf in skp.Surfaces) {
  // do something with your surfaces
}

Saving a Model

skp.WriteNewModel("filename.skp");

Converting a Model

SketchUpNET.SketchUp skp = new SketchUp();
skp.SaveAs("old-file.skp", SKPVersion.V2020, "new-file.skp");

Requirements

If not installed you might requires Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio https://www.microsoft.com/en-sg/download/details.aspx?id=40784

The library requires the SketchUp C API which is part of the package.
