      I'm getting crashes when I try to import an .obj file I got. (120MB)
      I've tried different options - triangulate on/off, material on/off - but it bugsplats every time. Memory usage of Sketchup.exe doesn't exceed 300MB.

      Any ideas?

          Thomthom, I've never tried a file that big. How many polygons is it?

            The materials using textures [after #1] aren't being made from the MTL or then applied to the right faces πŸ˜•

                  I do not know - it's a file we got from different office.
                  Do you got dropbox? I could drop you the file if you want to have a look..?

                        Just released 1.0.4, it should fix the face/material issue.

                                    Back to report a bugsplat.

                                    I made a quite heavy tree with TreeD, which got correctly exported in OBJ format, resulting in a 42MB file. When I tried to import (several times) the obj, after a rather short time the tree was imported into sketchy (no bugsplats), but it had no textures applied. The materials were correctly created (their names themselves were correct too, corresponding to the ones figuring in the mlt file), but they had no textures embedded, but when I tried to add the textures the mapping was wrong.

                                    I tried to separately export the trunk/branches (26MB) and the leaves (16MB) from TreeD. The trunk/branches gave no errors in the import process, but when I tried to import the leaves' mesh I got the bugsplat, two times.

                                    Then, the final solution I tried (which finally worked) was to import in a new file only the leaves using TIG's old importer (this worked, in the known biblical time πŸ˜† ) and then I manually merged the two sketchup files (the origin was common).

                                    Is this something fixable? I guess the issue concerns huge obj files. What I don't understand is that I recently imported xfrog obj files which were even 80MB each, and I got no problems. What is going on?

                                      Hi pibuz,

                                      If you have Dropbox I can take a look at the file that is giving you problems.

                                        It's not a Plugin, it's a compiled 'Importer'.
                                        It adds an additional Importer type 'Wavefront/OBJ' under the File > Import file-browser...
                                        The same as other compiled importers/exporters - it's the Ruby based tools that are in other menus like Plugins...

                                          Which folder do I have to extract the fluidimporter file? I cannot see it under the plugins menu after extracting on its default folder.
                                          Btw. I'm using Google sketch up v8 (free version) ,and should I install the fluid ray demo version before fluidimporter for sketchup appears?
                                          If yes, which installer should I download? I'm using windows vista ultimate 64 bit, 4gb ram
                                          FluidRay for SketchUp Win32 Demo (Version 1.1.2)
                                          FluidRay for SketchUp Win32 SSE2 Demo (Version 1.1.2)
                                          FluidRay for SketchUp Win64 SSE2 Demo (Version 1.1.2)
                                          FluidRay for SketchUp Win64 SSE41 Demo (Version 1.1.2)

                                          Thanks!
