How to convert Solid Edge (solidedge,.asm,.par) to SketchUp (.skp,.skb)?

PolyTrans|CAD+DCC performs mathematically precise CAD, DCC/Animation, GIS and BIM 3D file conversions into all key downstream 3D packages and file formats. Okino software is used and trusted throughout the world by many tens of thousands of 3D professionals in mission & production critical environments, backed by respectable personal support directly from our core development team.

Solid Edge

Solid Edge is a 3D CAD, parametric feature and synchronous technology solid modeling software developed by Siemens. Some of its distant competitors would be SolidWorks, ProE/Creo, UG NX and Autodesk Inventor.

Okino knows of the Solid Edge software well as it had created one of the very first and still main conversion systems for the software.

Conversion from Solid Edge into Okino software is handled by these 3 ideal methods:

• Via native import of the .par or .asm files,
• Via STEP AP214 or IGES 'BREP solids' files.
• Via JT files exported from Solid Edge.

SketchUp

SketchUp is a popular 3D design product originally developed by @Last Software and now owned by Trimble, Inc. It uses the .skp and .skb file extensions.

Okino recognized the growing popularity of SketchUp (well before it was purchased by Google and then Trimble) and as such we worked directly with the original SketchUp developer to create the first set of independent, professional and fully compliant SketchUp 3D converters outside of the SketchUp program itself.
