SYCODE today launched thirty two SketchUp data exchange plug-ins
Panaji - 6th Jan, 2009 - SYCODE today launched thirty two SketchUp data exchange plug-ins.


"It is not every day that a company launches thirty two products on a single day. Today is a special day for all of us at SYCODE", explains Deelip Menezes, Founder and CEO of SYCODE. "Without doubt, free Google SketchUp is one of the most popular 3D CAD systems out there. However, despite it's extremely large install base, a minute fraction of CAD vendors have taken the trouble of adding SKP read/write support to their CAD software. As a result data exchange between SketchUp and other CAD software is extremely poor. Today SYCODE is changing that - completely. Our SketchUp SKP data exchange plug-ins will change the way users of free Google SketchUp and Professional interact with users of other CAD software."

The plug-ins being released today can be broadly classified into two categories:
(1) CAD file import and export plug-ins for SketchUp
(2) SKP file import and export plug-ins for other CAD software



Using the CAD file import and export plug-ins for Google SketchUp, a SketchUp user can import files from other CAD software as well as neutral file formats and export his 3D models to other file formats that can be read by other CAD software. Similarly, users of other CAD software can import SKP files into their software or export their 3D models to SKP files. SYCODE's SketchUp data exchange plug-ins allow users of Google SketchUp and other CAD software to easily share 3D models with each other.
