I still have the problem I have for some time.

Reinstall Microsoft Visual C++ library (it can fix your error) then let me know if problem persists.

[samuel_t]

1.1.2 version fixes loading of some OBJ files.

Download latest Universal Importer plugin from SketchUcation PluginStore.

[ken]

Well re-installing Microsoft Visual C++ library with stl files. Thanks for the help.

[samuel_t]

1.1.3 version allows you, during import, to reassign textures which are not referenced nor embedded in model.

3. When I import a model with multiple textures, I can only select one texture file and that texture is applied.
Sometimes I can but another time I cannot have all textures included. Some models may be badly textured but I'm almost sure that I tried importing the same chair as TutorialsUp did with success, while I didn't get both textures (only one).

Einstein, your issue has been fixed with 1.1.3 version of plugin.

The .blend files of 2.80 don't work dought to changes in the API, try with .blend files of Blender 2.79, for me these work fine.

[Oxer]

Samuel , really the Model height (cm) option do something, I changed this parameter to different values but the imported model has the same dimensions always.

This Blender is not supported. Export to .fbx or, as suggested by @Oxer, retry with Blender 2.79.

Hi Oxer! This feature works pretty well on Windows. I don't know why it doesn't work at all on macOS.

1.1.4 version fixes rendering of some high-density models (typically trees).

Hello man, thanks in advance for the app.
But every time I try to import an FBX, messages like that appear.

"WrogramData"?


Does it actually say "WrogramData" instead of "ProgramData"?

Hello. Importer Error. What does that mean

[joshtays]

Maybe this has been asked, I tried to search it just in case, so apologies if it has been answered already... Is there any plan to support PDF in the future? Lack of PDF import to Windows Sketchup boggles my mind.

[samuel_t]

Hello @kostiaarh. This sounds like a bug. Could you please upload your model to a file hoster? This way I could debug it.

Yes. I uploaded the file. Thanks you.

There's no plan to support PDF in future.

Hello. Importer Error. What does that mean

Problem comes from model encoding. I've manually fixed "222.obj" and "222.obj.mtl" with a text editor.

I've attached fixed model:

Hi. What version of macOS are you running?

Would it be possible to implement support for TGA format of textures? You can often download models textured with TGA files.

Yes. It's possible.

[db11]

Thanks for the great work on this extension Samuel. It's so useful, and I appreciate the rapid iteration / evolution to address user feedback.

Fantastic job!

[samuel_t]

1.1.5 version adds TGA and TIFF support for textures.

Thanks you.
I agree with the previous poster that PDF import would be awesome.

This is a huge game changer for game developers like me. It is almost up to par with the Skimp plugin's importer which comes with a pretty heavy price tag. The reason why this plugin is so valuable is that I can import models into Sketchup while preserving the UV map, and then export them back into the game engine (Unity in my case).

The only thing it's missing is the ability to preserve the scale and position of imported models, which is the only thing Skimp has on you at this point.

Thanks a ton!
