Does MapToNap export a native SketchUp SKP file?
No. Native .skp export is not currently available. For SketchUp-oriented workflows, MapToNap exports OBJ; 3DM and GLB are also available.

SketchUp site model generator
Build SketchUp site context without tracing the city by hand
Search the project location, generate the surrounding 3D context and export OBJ for a SketchUp-compatible workflow. MapToNap does not currently export native .skp, so the page is clear about the handoff instead of pretending otherwise.

SketchUp workflow
A shorter route to surrounding context
Search any address
Start from the actual project location and draw a focused context area.
Generate the model
Choose buildings, terrain, roads and paths, water, green areas and trees, then inspect the 3D result in the browser.
Export OBJ
Use OBJ as the mesh handoff for a SketchUp workflow. Import support depends on your SketchUp version and setup; convert or use a compatible importer when needed.
Why OBJ
Keep the promise accurate
No fake SKP claim
MapToNap currently exports 3DM, OBJ and GLB — not native .skp.
Broad 3D interchange
OBJ is a common mesh format and is the practical route when the next tool does not use Rhino 3DM.
Layered source model
The exported geometry is organised by model layer/group rather than being one screenshot or flattened image.
For architecture students and studios
Context plus the drawings around it
Site analysis
Generate 39 diagrams from the same project location.
Massing and presentation
Use the browser preview for massing, exploded layers and analysis-stack presentation before exporting.
Portfolio pipeline
Continue into MapToNap plan, section and portfolio tools when the task is more than just a 3D download.
Frequently asked questions
What to know before you export
Can SketchUp use OBJ?
OBJ is the intended interchange route for SketchUp workflows. Exact import support depends on your SketchUp version and setup, so you may need a compatible importer or conversion step.
Can I include terrain and surrounding buildings?
Yes. The 3D Site model can include buildings, terrain, roads and paths, water, green areas and trees.
Is the model generated from satellite imagery?
No. The geometry is built from map data plus regional elevation data for terrain; it is not photogrammetry or an AI reconstruction from imagery.
What is the current export area limit?
Up to 4 km². With MAX, up to 1 km² includes three exports per 24 hours; 1–4 km² costs €2 per export.
