Re: SketchUp

I'm working with someone who uses SketchUp to mock up concepts that I will later design in a more full-functioned CAD program such as Solidworks. Sketchup offers very limited export functionality, limiting its usefulness. It cannot export as IGES or STEP. The only reasonably standard format that's available is 3DS -- something Solidworks cannot open.
