hi,

since availability of [IngeTrazo](https://github.com/ingelibre/ingetrazo)a direct modeling 3D similar with SketchUp, an opensource one and cross platform. [CCXview](https://github.com/BasemRajjoub/ccxview) also available and it seems designed to support Fbd files, so i reinvent to work in porting and improve my previous exporter from SketchUp. Still at early-stage implementation but overall is functionality: line, arch, face and body is supported in _[export\_fbd.py](https://github.com/xyont/skp2fbd/blob/main/export_fbd.py)_ for working with shell and solid model. Beam element with section definition seems not appropriate using Fbd file but could be better directly writes Inp files, it’s on the future development probably.

best,
