About
KMP3D is a Google SketchUp plugin that functions as a 3D interface for Mario Kart Wii's KMP files, which deal with coordinate information, such as checkpoints, item routes, or respawn positions. Points are represented using spheres and vectors, depending on the point type.
Credits
The Itembox model used as a placeholder for other objects was created by Beaglebark413.

Tutorial
Adding and combining points
- Points can be added to the model by pointing and clicking in the desired area. If a given type of point is a vector, the second click determines what direction the point is facing in the horizontal (x-z) plane.
- Points can similarly be combined, if points are different types. This can be done by hovering over a point of a different type and clicking on it. Note: the order of the point for either type will be at the time the former point was placed.
Editing points
- Points can be translated, rotated, and scaled using any SketchUp tool or plugin. When exporting, KMP3D will automatically adjust for these changes.
- Settings can be edited through the use of input tables. Settings mostly follow KMP Cloud's naming and organization.
Selecting points
- Points can be selected and deselected either by clicking on the points in SketchUp, or in the input table's ID section. From here, any normal SketchUp operation can be done on them.
Exporting KMP3D points
- Exporting KMP3D points can be done under Plugins -> KMP3D -> Export WKMPT...
- Files can be converted through downloading and installing Wiimms SZS Tools, and using the
wkmpt encode command.
