Savnac · May 7th, 2007

Greetings-

My name is Savnac, and I would like to ask a question regarding SketchUp and Modo, I am new to this forum so here goes.

I am very new to both programs and trying to find my way around the two. I model something in SketchUp and imported into Modo.

What I got was, tons of Polygons everywhere, and wanted to clean it up in Modo, however I have no idea how to do this.

I should have just did this in one or the other, however it's the timing and understand of what tools do what in both.

Should I use the two together or not. I do know that SketchUp images look different once it converts over to Modo. I am wondering, does this take up more memory or not.

I wanted to carve a curve into a rectangular board and found that It is not as simple as I thought, so if anyone has any suggestions please, I am open to all.

Thanks,
