Lumion is compatible with almost all 3D design software programs and it offers seamless import of native SketchUp (. skp) files. If you need to export your model as a different file type, such as DWG, COLLADA or FBX, Lumion’s broad compatibility makes it easy to import all of your models into one Lumion project.
