Anyone familiar with the process in the other direction? Sketchup 2020 Pro to Rhino?

Thanks!

I do occasional house models from survey for an architect who uses Rhino.

You can import .skp files directly in Rhino. But, as with all types of file interoperability issues, it is best to downsave to a lower version, probably version 8

McNeel more friendly commercial policy

We get the message, @presence-architecture, please continue your crusade in a different topic…

Thanks Mike
