      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...

                        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.

                                      You're lack of details is astounding.....How about some useful information about what the plugin is or isn't doing? And maybe a test file that it fails on?

                                          Tig I just wanted you to know that your constribution will never be forgotten as well as many other great plugin writers. Some times people just took these great plugins for granted. When something doesn't for an individual, they complained. Some of us don't know how fortunate we are to have all these great individuals to write up the plugins and given them for free. Wait til the plugin writer start charging people to have their plugins download... then people will go nutz.

                                            Thanks for the kind words... I know it's not perfect but it does work a lot of the time and there are work around for when the obj's format is incompatible...
                                            I just got rankled at the lack of civility or useful criticism in that recent post - "if you can do better do it", was my challenge...
