  • With Skimp, choose and simplify objects in model so as to boost the speed of SketchUp scene.
  • Greatly decrease the size of model and enhance the speed.
  • Reduces the complexity. 

FEATURES: 

  • Decrease the amount of geometry through dragging the slider left and right. 
  • With a simple user interface, Skimp offers the ability to import high-poly models from different sources.  
  • Supports FBX, STL, OBJ and additional file formats. 
  • Just choose and simplify an object in model. 
  • Import and simplification is real quick. 
  • Perfect and precise measurement-based simplification.
  • Instantly import and simplify huge models in OBJ, FBX, STL, PLY, VRML and additional file formats.  
  • Maintain model hierarchy as well as texture position.
  • Maintain edge hardness in order to ensure the model is accurate.
  • Maintain materials, normals as well as UVs during importing and simplification. 
  • Simplify and optimize groups and components in SketchUp model. 
  • Instantly import components and form variations having several precision levels. 
  • Optimize components so as to decrease file size as well as enhance performance.

At the time of importing a model, Skimp allows us to preview the model, adjust scale, and orientation prior to import.  Through the Skimp extension, one can set the error tolerance with regard to very precise simplification. 

At the time of importing a model, options are available to apply a temporary UV texture and then choose the appropriate texture by using the Replace Textures tool.
