# OpenSKP

> OpenSKP parses, writes, and converts SketchUp SKP files using independently implemented Python, TypeScript, .NET, Dart, and C++ libraries. Its format research covers the VFF container used from 2021 and the older MFC CArchive container, including geometry, materials, components, and layers. It exports models to formats including GLB, OBJ, STL, DXF, IFC4, and JSON.
