problem of export from ArcScene to Sketshup

I try to understand why when I export from sketchup to ArcScene, some of my scene objects are not exported. thank you

This is true. What i do is to select just those objects that were not exported then export into new Sketchup model then copy and paste. I know, a crude solution. Another option is to export your model into CADD with ArcGIS then import into sketchup. (will probably need a Pro version of Sketchup for this)
The plugin was developed by Google so you will get no support on this from ESRI.

Hi, the only output format possible from ArcScene is VRML. I don't know how to export to CAD. Is it need a plugin?

ArcToolbox -> Conversion Tools -> To CAD -> Export to CAD

I found another problem again.
I spend from ArcScene to 3DsMax through Sketchup.
it gives me a good result, and allow me to extract it in .3ds
in 3DsMa, I can not apply textures on the faces of buildings Sketchup. Is this normal?
Thank you

Hello,
I have some problems too when I export a 3D roof from ArcScene to Sketchup.
I have a shape file of a building roof and I extrude it in ArcScene applying a fixed value by "adding it to each feature's base height". Then when I export the extruded feature through Sketchup 5 plugin the result in Google Sketchup is only the roof of the building.
In the second case I try to use "extrude by field" option from the Sketchup plugin I get a building but the roof of the building is deformed . I insert an image with the results I get. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks !

hi, convert your SHP into SHP 3D, by use "3D Analyst" before export to Sketchup. good luck
