How to convert skp to step file

It appears that skp to step conversion is predominantly searched by users that need to export content from SketchUp's SKP format to STEP product format, often when they do not have access to the professional version version of the tool as well.

Exporting SketchUp's SKP format to STP format

SketchUp does not support STEP format natively, so it's not that simple even if you have access to it. The usual workaround is to export SKP format to one of the popular exchange formats that can be used in other software, typically Collada DAE. Once you have your 3D data in exchange format, the free Blender should be sufficient for the task to export your model to STP format.

How to convert skp to stp without SketchUP?

In case you do not have access to SketchUP, the only alternative is to use some alternative professional 3D modeling tool, which supports SKP format. Native support for SKP format is rare, so it is usually added via external plugin, for example in AutoCAD, Maya, 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, Daz Studio and possible many others.

A viable alternative is to use professional 3D conversion solution, for example CrossManager, or Autoconverter and others, considering that SKP format is typically well-supported.

Are there any free software that support SKP format?

Unfortunately, not. If you know someone who owns SketchUp, it would be best to ask them to export your .skp file to exchange format, so you can use it in a different software.
