Creating Virtual Concept Models in SketchUp - Google SketchUp Workshop: Modeling, Visualizing, and Illustrating - page 15

Rendering the model began by opening the SketchUp file directly in Artlantis;
there is no need to export from SketchUp in an intermediate format before-
hand. Artlantis automatically converts SketchUp's scenes into cameras, and
you just need to click on one of these to select the desired view and obtain a
previsualization render of the space.
Tip
Take care to note the visibility of your layers in SketchUp when you save
the .skp file before loading it into Artlantis: Any hidden elements will not
show up in Artlantis.
After placing a bump map on the wall texture, adjusting the reflection of
the flooring, and defining the intensity of the neon luminaires in the ceil-
ing, we only needed to hit the render button to produce an image at the
chosen resolution.
