Sketchup file to make interactive (clicable) page or app

SketchUp
1

Hello,

For me, sketchup is a best software for 3d, from the time i first time start to work in it (2010.). Now I have some problems in work and i hope someone will help me.

I would like to make 3d page or app with models from SU and i need suggestions how to make that.

Need to have objects interactive (clicable) for others, so if they click on object it can link them to some page, show video, pictures, text… There is no need for SU objects to be interactive in the way that it is possible to change colors, textures and other things in model. Just to make objects clicable.

Also it would be nice if it is possible to make some simple animation of camera, for example when person click on some object in model, camera go similar like in SU scenes and show that object in new scene.

Also i have little problem with textures as i make some parts in different SU files and then import them into main model (problem is i made them in different template so they show textures like in original file) Can you suggest me the best way to make all that parts adapted to new template.

And i have problem with some objects that have new hidden geometry, i guess because of lots of copy/pasting between different versions of software or templates.
Is it easy way to fix that and does it make problems later if i leave them as they are?
And, is it possible to have sketchup 2025 new things (ambient occlusion, photoreal materials, environment) in app from model or i need to adjust that things later.

I try to do app with friend who is good in Unity and i know it is possible but not easy.

So, please, give me some suggestion.
I read forum a lot and know some things about edddison, Cl3ver, Sketchfab… but still i dont know the best way to make what i want.

I want to make that fast with the most job done in SU.

Its a 50 MB file and when i export fbx its about 500MB.

You need to provide some context. How are you using the model you are creating? What is it a model of? Presumably since you are using SketchUp 2017 Make this is a hobby for you. What is the end goal?

It is the model of old town, it was hobby but now i hope it will be pro. End goal is interactive app or page with clicable object.

You won’t be able to use SketchUp Make, then. You’ll need at least a SketchUp Pro subscription.

Looking at your screenshot doesn’t really give enough info but it looks like there’s a lot of triangulation in your model. How did you create it in SketchUp? If you want to work with it in SketchUp, first clean up the unneeded triangulation.

Looks like a lot of incorrectly oriented faces. I would expect many of the textured faces are also incorrectly oriented.

Not specific enough.

Your screenshot doesn’t agree with your forum profile.

you can see orientation of faces so if there is a problem with that please give suggestion.
I found that to make non parallel roofs is easy to make with triangles so maybe it is becuse of that, mostly only roofs are in triangles…
Also, i hope you will not feel offended but i need advice, not your thoughts about my forum profile.

Daves question about your profile is so that he can give appropriate advice, based on the version of SketchUp you are actually using. Keeping it updated and correct means we can help you without having to ask questions about your setup.

Thanks,

i use to work in su 2017 but i do some things in su 2025 and i would like to finish project from su 2025.

i would like to complete project in SU with texturing, cameras, lighting in other software,.. and to finish that in some other software or SU if it is possible without too much problems with textures lighting and other. For me, it would be great if i can make as much as i can in SU.
