SKP (Sketchup) export - CE vs v8i

A simple 3D file - export to SKETCHUP in v8i;

  • initial view in Microstation translates as the initial view in Sketchup.
  • transparency translates fine.
  • Saved Views translate and are available in the SKP.

Take the same file and export in CE (Update 16)

  • initial view is lost (have to zoom extents to find the model in Sketchup)
  • transparent objects become opaque
  • Saved Views don't get translated.

Yet another reason why Connect edition fails, and I'm glad to have kept v8i to get the job done.
