Feature Representation

In addition to the generic FME feature attributes that FME Workbench adds to all features (see About Feature Attributes), this format adds the format-specific attributes described in this section.

SketchUp entities (features) consist of geometry and geometry attributes. All SketchUp entities have one predefined attribute, sketchup_type, which identifies the type of the geometry. Geometry types are 3D (x,y,z).

All SketchUp geometry traits are optional. SketchUp geometry traits correspond to SketchUp entity attributes. All Sketchup options are output as attributes on every feature.

Attribute Name

Contents

sketchup_type

The type of the geometry read from the SketchUp file.

Range:

sketchup_surface

sketchup_line

sketchup_model

sketchup_model_metadata

Default: No default

sketchup_model_description

The description of the model.

Type: string

FME Geometry attributes supported

These are the attributes that map to the FME Geometry Model

fme_texture_coordinate_u

fme_texture_coordinate_v

fme_texture_coordinate_w

fme_texture_coordinate_q

 

These are named measures that hold texture coordinates on the vertices of sketchup_face. (front side).

Type: float

Default: the parent front side texture coordinates

fme_back_texture_coordinate_u

fme_back_texture_coordinate_v

fme_back_texture_coordinate_w

fme_back_texture_coordinate_q

 

These are named measures that hold texture coordinates on the vertices of sketchup_face. (back side)

Type: float

Default: the parent back side texture coordinates

fme_vertex_normal_x

fme_vertex_normal_y

fme_vertex_normal_z

 

These are named measures that hold vertex normals on a sketchup_face. Normals are vectors that enable faces to be shaded.

Type: float

Range: -1.0..1.0

Default: the parent face normal
