A small script that helps you copy objects in SketchUp, and paste them directly in 3dsMax, with the origin and texture preserved. It will make your SU>MAX workflow a lot faster, especially for people who like to model on SketchUp.

HOW TO INSTALL

  • You must have the script installed in both 3dsMax and SketchUp for it to work. It doesn’t matter which one you install first.
  • In SketchUp: use Extension Manager to install RBZ file. The “Copy to 3dsMax” command will appear in the Extensions menu.
  • In 3dsMax: drag and drop MZP file into the viewport and press Install. After installed, you can find it in D95 DESIGN category > Paste from SketchUp.
  • In SketchUp, use Copy to 3dsMax command to copy, and paste it in 3dsMax with Paste from SketchUp command.

SET SHORTCUT

  • In SketchUp: Windows > Preferences > Shorcut > Copy to 3dsMax (Ctrl + Shift + C recommend).
  • In 3dsMax: Customize User Interface > Keyboard > D95 DESIGN > Paste from SketchUp (Ctrl + Shift + V recommend).

Sorry for late reply

Sorry for the late reply, unfortunately there is no notification feature on Scriptspot so I missed your comment. By the way, I have updated to version 1.12, with new "copy" method, much faster and less bugs (I also fixed the C:\Temp folder not being found).

I don't visit ScriptSpot often, so if you have any questions, please email me: [email protected].

Unfortunately it does not

Unfortunately it does not paste from *latest* version of SU. It looks like it's broken on Max end

It's free for you

It is a free script, you can download it from the link I provide the above. :D

I haven't tried it on the latest version of SketchUp, but I'm pretty sure it should work.
