Real AEC projects often have SketchUp models (walls, furniture, site context) alongside IFC ones. Getting a SketchUp model into Blender/Bonsai today means exporting from SketchUp first, which needs a SketchUp install.
OpenSKP is an MIT-licensed, from-scratch .skp reader (pip install openskp) — pure Python, no compiled dependency to bundle. Parses geometry, materials, layers, and component instancing (which maps fairly directly onto Blender's collections/linked duplicates).
Would a native .skp import path be useful in Bonsai? Happy to put together a PR if there's interest.
