You can also use the http://moi3d.com/download/3dmCurves2DXF.zip converter by Michael
and import a dxf file in Sketchup

and wait a minut that I refound the plug who merge the lines inside sketchup ;)


Ok Here the plug to put inside the folder Plugins of Sketchup ;)

hihi
you right, I have totally forgotten that Moi has this format inside °)°)°)
So I will edit my previous post :)
But for simple curves (not for solid), you must use the Michael converter !
3ds don't take the only curves :(

thanks

Else for Sketchup you have a cool another trick maybe not so powerful than the nurbs of Moi ;)
but by curiosity you can try this free funny thing ;)
