You would convert a SketchUp file (SKP) to formats like STEP (STP), IGES (IGS), or DWG when you need to share your 3D model with other CAD software applications that don’t natively support SketchUp, enabling them to access and potentially modify the design, especially for purposes like manufacturing, collaboration with other design teams, or further engineering analysis, where a more standardized format is required.
When sending your design to a manufacturer, they often require a standard format like STEP for CNC machining or 3D printing, ensuring accurate interpretation of the geometry
