A simple 3D file - export to SKETCHUP in v8i;
Take the same file and export in CE (Update 16)
Yet another reason why Connect edition fails, and I'm glad to have kept v8i to get the job done.

To add to this - certain element types don't get translated at all in CE, while v8i faithfully translated to CE.
Bentley has broken the SKP exporter in CE.
Please fix.
Still hoping for comments on this, so here's an illustration of the problem.
v8i accurately translates all geometry to SKP, but CE (u16) still fails at this simple task.
Thank you Pravin, I appreciate you taking a look at this.
Please also consider the problems with CE that I have noted at the beginning of this thread.
Attached is a sample DGN and the two exports to SKP from v8i 08.11.09.919 and CE 10.16.03.11

Hi Max,
I have file the Bug ( BUG 893734) for the Sketchup Issue.
Regards,Pravin Sawant
Thanks Pravin,
It's not clear what you mean by "the Bug", when I've identified at least four. Do we have access to your Bug list so that I can see what BUG 893734 refers to?
Below is another summary of the issues. Peter, thanks for your contribution - if I understand correctly it sounds like Sketchup changed something which made the Saved View translation difficult/ impossible to implement in the CE 64bit > SKP exporter?
BUG 893734 Revolved solids Export to SketchUp format not working.
BUG 893739 solids Export to SketchUp format not smooth as V8i.( Faceted column)
For Initial view, save view and transparency issue, We have filed the below bug earlier. As Peter mentioned 64 bit SketchUp API issue. It is unresolved till now.
BUG 813509 Export to SketchUp format not working correct.

Pravin Sawant
Thank you Pravin, as I said - fortunately V8i still does the job properly so at least I have a work-around while these CE bugs get ironed out.
