In SketchUp for Web, your models are saved to and stored in Trimble Connect, a web-based storage and collaboration service. This is different from the desktop version of SketchUp, but there are several advantages to using Trimble Connect as a web-based file system (as opposed to the file system in your computer). Here's how managing files works between SketchUp for Web and Trimble Connect. Sketch U cation U cation.

When you want to use SketchUp with other modeling programs or tools, that typically means you need to either

Import a file from another program into SketchUp.
Export your SketchUp model into a file format that works with another program.

Tip: When this article refers to other modeling programs or tools, that means programs outside the SketchUp family of software and tools. If you want to open a 3D model as a document in LayOut, create your own styles in Style Builder, or share models on SketchUp Mobile Viewer or the 3D Warehouse, these programs and tools are designed to work directly with SketchUp. Each of the these applications has its own section in the Knowledge Center, which can help you get up to speed quickly and easily.

Here, you find subarticles about working with CAD files, different types of image files, and other file formats designed for sharing 3D modeling data between applications. To import or export some of these files, you need a SketchUp Pro license or active SketchUp for Web, Shop Edition subscription. The following table has a full list of the different types of files you can import into and export from SketchUp.

Note: The SketchUp Subscriptions have additional import and export options as well.
