The models created in SketchUp and exported by SU2Odeon, are inherently compatible with the requirements set by ODEON: If you try to export the SketchUp file to a server, the process will stop or will not respond. Please Note: It is recommended that you save your SketchUp (and ODEON) model on a local disk in your PC. This list of guidelines can help you with checking the architectural room before using it for acoustic studies. This can blow up the importing time and often make SketchUP and SU2Odeon crash during the attempt to convert the SketchUP surfaces into normal ODEON surfaces. Models in SketchUp tend to be used for architectural presentations where many small components and high level of detail is utilized. You always have to check your model for its acoustic simplicity.
However, unnecessarily complicated models can make the process not responsive forever. It may be best to simply wait until the message: “File has been exported” pops up. Tip: For large models the program might leave the message “SketchUp is not responding” – while it is in fact working on converting the model. A message indicates that exporting has been finished and you will be prompted to open the model inside ODEON.3.
The new file resides in the same folder where the SketchUp file was saved. SU2Odeon will convert the file to ODEON’s geometry format (.Press the ODEON icon in the SketchUp menu bar.
rbz extension) in a folder of your choice. Only a few clicks are required to get the geometry into ODEON:
