One possible process
free Pcon Planner / load the SKP
https://pcon-planner.com

export as OBJ

Inside MOI
_importOBJ by Max Smirnov and escape as soon as the file is imported for stop the Subdivide calculation!

Hi Rudl, .skp files only contain polygon mesh data. That's where objects are made up of a large number of little flat facets and not spline surfaces like MoI is designed to work with for modeling.

You can try one of the methods Pilou mentions above but it is generally not advisable to do such conversions, that data is not in a form that is suitable for MoI to use.

The best course would probably be to generate your presentation in a 3D rendering program which are designed to work with polygon mesh data. You can import both your MoI project and the car as well. Simlab Composer would be a good one to try.
