Please consider developing a plugin for solidworks or import a Native solidworks file format. The entry price for a seat of Solidworks is pretty Hefty. To upgrade to the Professional or the Premium Package is even Heavier. Needless to say there is no native rendering option for the entry level user, the ability to use a rendering engine like octane would turn an already powerful software into a super power in the visualization corner of the engineering world. Currently or at least what i am aware of, the only photo real, 3rd party renderer for SW is Maxwell. I think octane could score a great many users were there an Octane plugin or file import option.
Its on my wish list
