Tools Tab
Convert Thea material(s) to SKM
This button can convert a selected Thea
material to a SketchUp material (in SKM
format). The created materials can be
placed in a model by using regular Paint
Bucket. It automatically optimizes the texture of the SketchUp material and adds the
same preview as Thea material has.
So apart from the existing Thea material
libraries that can be found inside SketchUp
Bucket, you can have any Thea material
converted and applied to faces in the same
way as all other materials.
Technical note: Paths to textures which are stored within ‘Thea Render/Materials’ folder will be
written inside SKM file as relative to that folder. This makes SKM libraries system independent.
All other texture paths will be stored as full. In a case a path to a texture changes, the conversion
process has to be repeated.
Tip: Thea for SketchUp installer comes with a ready to use set of SKM Thea materials. Check your
SketchUp materials for ‘Thea’ reference.
