A maximum of 20 files can be uploaded at once.

Please note: Your STEP file, once uploaded to our server, will be deleted 15 minutes after upload, so please download your converted STEP file before this time.

Our 3D model STEP to SKP tool will load your STEP file and, where supported, attempt to extract all the relevant 3D features, such as geometry, textures, and animations. To access the 3D conversion configuration options, click the button when you have selected your files. The current options support the ability to voxelize your 3D model and more.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I convert my STEP file to SKP?

First, click the "Upload..." button and select your STEP file to upload. Your STEP file will be uploaded to our servers. When the STEP to SKP conversion has completed, you can download your SKP file right away.

How long does it take to convert my STEP to SKP?

We aim to process all STEP to SKP conversions as quickly as possible; this usually takes around 5 seconds; however, this can be longer for certain files, so please be patient.

How accurate is the STEP to SKP conversion?

We aim to provide the best conversion experience. Our tools are under constant review and development, with new features being added every week.

How does converting STEP to SKP work?

In order to successfully convert an STEP formatted file to the SKP format, our converter tools will perform several initial checks to ensure the file provided is indeed an STEP file. There are many files out there where the file type extension does not match the data contained within the file. Along with these file type checks, our tools will do additional checks to ensure the file is correctly formatted to match the provided file type. There are many tools out there that do not always create STEP files to the exact specification.

Take your STEP file

The STEP file format is a text-based format, meaning its contents are human-readable, making STEP files straightforward to edit in simple text editors. Within this text-based format are the core elements that make up the 3D model, including points, lines, edges, faces, and more. To ensure efficient conversions, our tool will check all data that is contained within the STEP file and remove any information that is duplicated. STEP files are notoriously slow to process, even on high-end computer systems, which is why our STEP to SKP converters have been hand-optimized for speed making our STEP converters the fastest available.

Convert the data from STEP to SKP

Now that the data from the STEP file has been processed, our tool can apply any conversion specified options, such as enabling Voxel mode, and with these applied, prepare the data to be converted to the final SKP file format. Part of this process ensures checking the capabilities of the SKP format and removing any data that cannot be represented.

Save to the SKP format

At this point, the STEP to SKP conversion tool will have the 3D model in a state that is ready to be transferred to the SKP format. Our tool creates the SKP file, ensuring all the model data is present and is formatted to match the SKP file specification to ensure the file opens in compatible SKP file editors.

STEP files are a 3D file format used to store complex 3D object definitions in a standard format to facilitate data transfer between compatible 3D modeling and CAD (Computer Aided Design) applications. In addition to storing 3D object data, the STEP format can store additional information such as materials, tolerances, and other relevant data.

The STEP format was first released in the early 1990's, has become a standard for 3D object storage, and is used in automotive, electronics, and other industries. STEP files can be opened in most modern CAD applications and can be imported into many 3D modeling applications too.

The file content is ASCII text-based and conforms to the ISO-10303-21 standard. The 3D object contained within the STEP file is described using a combination of points, lines, and edges. Due to the format being ASCII text, complex objects can lead to large file sizes. In addition to large file sizes, some complex STEP files can take a long time to open within editing applications, even on a high-spec, modern computer.

STEP Converter Capabilities

When converting 3D model or mesh files using our STEP converter, we will attempt to convert color materials into a suitable format for use in the converted file.

Extension	SKP

Type	3D Model
Mime Type	application/octet-stream
Format	Binary

A SKP file is the native file format for the popular SketchUp 3D modeling application. SketchUp is a growing platform, popular with industrial architechs and 3D design enthusiasts alike who like the ease with which complex 3D models can be produced.

The SKP format is capable of storing complex 3D models and their associated geometric data, such as vertices, edges, faces, materials, and much more. The format is well supported, and it receives updates containing new features on a regular basis.

Due to its popularity, the SKP format is supported by many 3D modeling applications via an import option, and where an import option may be missing, our own SKP conversion tools can convert to and from the most popular 3D formats.

When converting your STEP to SKP, our tool will attempt to accurately convert any color or material information.

Information for converting from STEP to SKP

Your STEP file will be converted to a SKP file using our unified 3D model and mesh conversion tool. Our STEP 3D tool performs accurate conversions of 3D elements such as vertices, faces, normals, and relevant material information. As both STEP and SKP support color material information, our tool will also attempt to convert the color information.
