SKP File Extension

What is the .SKP file type?

The .skp extension belongs to the Trimble SketchUp Model (SKP) file format and the respective file type (.skp). SketchUp is a popular 2D/3D sketching and modeling tool with an intuitive and simplistic GUI. It is a proprietary software for Microsoft Windows and MacOS X by Trimble Navigation Limited (formerly, Google). Earlier, SketchUp was used by Google as the preferred model-authoring tool for the Google Earth project.

An .skp file is a SketchUp document. It can be a 3D object (model), a designed scene or assembly, or simply a sketch. SketchUp documents are saved in the proprietary SKP binary file format, natively supported only by SketchUp—although there are other CAD applications that can import/export .skp files.

Within SketchUp Pro, .skp models can be converted into other 3D-model formats, as well as exported as bitmap images. Besides SketchUp, SKP files can be viewed with the freeware SketchUp Viewer utility (Trimble). A large selection of 3D models in the SKP format is available at Trimble's online 3D Warehouse.
