SKM to DWG Conversion: FAQ
What are SKM files?
An SKM file is a proprietary SketchUp Material file developed by Trimble (originally Google). It is used to store and distribute custom textures, surface finishes, and rendering properties within the SketchUp 3D modeling software. Instead of being a raw image, an SKM file is a packaged container that bundles a texture map with metadata to dictate how the material scales, reflects light, and behaves on a 3D surface.
What are DWG files?
DWG (which stands for "Drawing") is a proprietary format of AutoCAD, a program widely used for creating engineering and architectural projects. The format is also a default extension used by several other computer-aided design (CAD) pieces of software, including IntelliCAD, Caddie or DraftSight. DWG files contain complex design structures including several layers, which can be 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional.
