Artlantis does not support SketchUp's native section cuts. Workaround: In SketchUp, duplicate your model. Use the Section Plane tool, then right-click > "Align View." Export that as a separate scene. Or, use the plugin to actually slice the geometry before exporting to reveal interiors.
Configure the export settings (textures, components) to ensure smooth material mapping. 3. Importing into Artlantis RT²

The is not just an exporter; it is a translator. It takes the loose, organic creativity of SketchUp and converts it into the strict, physically accurate language of Artlantis.

Which you use (e.g., Make, Pro, 2023, 2024)? Which version of Artlantis you own (e.g., 2021, RT)? Your operating system ( Windows or macOS )?
Artlantis treats SketchUp layers and components as distinct objects. Naming them properly in SketchUp makes managing the scene in Artlantis much easier. Or, use the plugin to actually slice the
Using the dedicated plugin offers several distinct advantages over standard file exports:
Here’s a draft post tailored for a blog, forum, or social media (e.g., LinkedIn or Facebook group for architects/3D artists). Let me know if you’d like it shorter for Twitter/X or more technical for a user guide.
When you export your file, the plugin automatically translates native SketchUp materials into Artlantis material slots. If you applied a generic wood texture to twenty cabinets in SketchUp, Artlantis identifies them as a unified material group. You can swap out the flat SketchUp texture for a high-definition, bump-mapped Artlantis shader in a single click. 3. Geometry Optimization
To help you get the absolute most out of your rendering workflow, tell me: Which of SketchUp and Artlantis are you running? What operating system (Windows or macOS) do you use?
