SKP to DWG Converter

The tool converts SketchUp SKP files into DWG format for CAD workflows. It aims to minimize data loss while transferring geometry, layers, blocks, and basic metadata. Complex SKP features such as advanced materials or plugins may not map perfectly to DWG, and the tool surfaces non-mappable items for review.
Conceptually, the converter reads SKP geometry, maps units and scale, preserves layer structure, block instances, and group hierarchies, and writes DWG entities with version-specific compatibility. It supports batch queues, per-file options, and validation that the resulting DWG preserves topology and coordinates. Optional advanced features include material mapping and attachment of source metadata when available.
Intended users include architects, civil and mechanical engineers, BIM coordinators, and design consultants who need to integrate SketchUp models into AutoCAD or related CAD workflows. Use cases cover planning, drafting, clash detection, and construction documentation, with emphasis on accuracy, reproducibility, and auditability across transfers.
Unique value stems from automated cross-format mapping, batch processing, version presets, and detailed error reporting. Core features include input validation, unit handling, DWG version targeting (e.g., R2010–R2023), per-file logs, and output packaging. Edge cases address missing units, unsupported SKP features, and corrupted inputs, with clear guidance for reprocessing.
