This is the most common version of the exporter, designed to bridge SketchUp models to the 3D Rad engine.
3D Rad Exporter is a legacy plugin, primarily used with Google SketchUp , designed to export 3D models into the DirectX (.x) file format. While it is
Traditional Method:
To begin, you need the plugin compatible with your modeling software (historically SketchUp).

Download: Locate the 3drad_sketchup_export.rb file (commonly found in the 3D Rad installation folder under \import\SketchUp_Plugin\).
As the demand for real-time radiation transport simulations and virtual reality dosimetry grows, the workflow bottleneck often shifts from computational power to geometry preparation. The 3D RAD Exporter Plugin addresses this critical gap. This paper details the architecture of a specialized plugin designed to export complex 3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD) models into the RAD (Radiation Adsorption/Dosimetry) format. By automating surface mesh decomposition, material property mapping, and hierarchical volume conversion, the plugin reduces geometry preparation time by up to 80% while ensuring data integrity essential for physics simulations. This is the most common version of the
Users have noted specific "weaknesses" in the plugin that require manual workarounds: Axis Orientation : It often suffers from flipped YZ planes . To fix this, you must flip your model along the prior to exporting. Smoothing Issues
