You can import SketchUp models into Unity using the FBX file format. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Export from SketchUp

  • Open your SketchUp model.
  • Go to File > Export > 3D Model.
  • Choose FBX as the file type.
  • Select the desired export options and click Export.

2. Import into Unity

  • Open your Unity project.
  • In the Project window, click Assets > Import New Asset.
  • Select the exported FBX file and click Open.
  • Unity will import the model and create a Prefab in your project.

3. Adjust the Model

  • You can now adjust the model's position, rotation, and scale in the Scene view.
  • You can also apply materials and textures to the model in the Inspector panel.

4. Optimize for Unity

  • To optimize your model for performance, consider reducing the number of polygons.
  • You can also use Unity's built-in Mesh Combiner tool to combine multiple meshes into one.

By following these steps, you can successfully import your SketchUp models into Unity and use them in your game or application.
