Pain Points (Public)

Users frequently need to convert 3D models between different file formats, such as OBJ to SketchUp (SKP) or SketchUp to CAD, to integrate models into specific workflows or software. Manual conversions are often complex, time-consuming, and can result in data loss or messy geometry, hindering design and construction processes.

Suggested Approach (Public)

Implement a robust 3D model conversion service that supports a wide range of formats, with a particular focus on high-quality and clean conversions involving SketchUp (SKP) files. This service will ensure accurate geometry, textures, and metadata are preserved during conversions, streamlining the interoperability between different design software (e.g., OBJ, SketchUp, CAD).

Development brief PRO

Worth building?
Needs validation first
How to position
  • Focus on high-budget architectural/construction conversions (SKP to CAD drawings priced between $30 and $250) rather than commoditized low-budget conversions ($10-$11).
What to build first
    1. Build an automated conversion pipeline using the SketchUp SDK and Open CASCADE for OBJ-to-SKP clean mesh import and SKP-to-standard format export.
