    Export to SketchUp

    Has anybody here ever exported a Lightwave object to Google Sketchup?

    I see it imports 3ds files (grrrrrrrr), anything I should watch out for?

    Tnx!

    Watch out for people baring gifts..... and a man with one eye and a sword cane.
    Never argue with an idiot, they will lower you to their level then beat you with experience.

    There is one thing to beware: apparently somewhere in the LWM>>3ds>>SKP process, the normals get turned the wrong way, and Sketchup will NOT allow you to surface the INSIDE of a poly.

    Flip them the 'wrong way' in LWM and all is good.
