      I tried to import .obj form Modo. It keeps telling me to change import units without creating any geometry. I tried with several ones but without success.

        It guesses the units if there are none set in the obj file.
        The dialog let's you select the units.
        Have you tried all of the unit options ?
        Sometimes large/small units in the obj file affect SUp's ability to make the meshes...
        Post a problem obj file [PM me if desired] - not too large !

            What does it zip down to ? OBJ files are very compressible...
            I'd try the range of metric from mm to cm and m.
            Some very complex meshes won't import but most do...

              Am I reading that this Plugin works with any version of Sketchup, free or Pro?

              I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                Should be no difference with either version...

                          I have the file and am looking at it now - It does have almost 1.1 million edges !!!
                          No texture-images just materials in the mtl...

                            Yes I know....I managed to import bigger file than that, It has just over 2mil edges.

                                Well... after along time processing it the importer produced no geometry and no console warnings.
                                I also tried importing it into Blender... and that failed with an 'out of range error message', so there's something adrift in the obj file's geometry...
                                Seems your obj file has at least one problem that's giving at least two separate importers hiccups...

                                      Sorry guys.. I don't want to spam this topic but I'd be very glad if someone could explain how to import correctly-mapped Xfrog trees into sketchy... 😳
                                      Sorry TIG if I go a little off-topic: I've stumbled on your topic because I am very interested in your plugin: you did a good work. A big thank you.

                                            Are you implying it's not working for you?
