      Do you have a small example OBJ we could look at.
      Some exporters do make an unusual format... πŸ˜•
      Did you try taking it into another Application and then export out again before the SKP?

          How doesn't it work?
          It's very frustrating for developers to be told something doesn't work, but then give no clues as to the issue[s]...
          Does it appear on the Import menu list of types?
          Does it open a dialog for options?
          Does it run?
          Does it do anything at all?
          Is the imported object not as expected?
          Does it take a long time to process?
          Does Sketchup crash/bugsplat?
          If you open the Ruby Console before running the importer are there any error messages?
          Can you successfully open this OBJ file in another app like Blender?
          Are the OBJ/MTL files together and any textures in the folder as specified in the MTL?

          You see there are many questions unanswered...

            you're right, sorry!
            simply did not appear *. obj on the list of import formats ...
            I do not know what else to explain the problem.

            only now it is on the list

                  Worked that time thanks. I tried it for over an hour last night with the same error. Maybe they were doing maintenance.

                    I have a problem as well

                    I open a new sketchup 8 window
                    I click File>Import
                    I change "All Supported Image Files" to ".obj files"
                    I select an obj file I exported from sketchup previously
                    I click import
                    The window freezes then closes
                    Bug splat appears

                      πŸ˜•
                      Do you get an options dialog auto-opening before the freeze happens ?
                      If so what settings have you tried/used?
                      Can you try it with a simple 'box' OBJ exported from a SKP.
                      Importing that should work.

                      When you installed the OBJ importer did you have 'admin rights'?
                      Is its .exe in Sketchup's Importers folder ?
                      Have you tried uninstalling it and reinstalling to see if that fixes it ??

                      If you have the Ruby Console open before the import starts are there any error messages ??

                          The obj file is strangely structured and the mtl lacks good color definitions.
                          I edited the file to ensure all of the 'o[bjects]' become g[roups] with the mtl material immediately afterwards and the matching g[roup]/mat entries before the 'f' blocks was removed.
                          Then it works - units=mm and flip-YZ...

                                          So the geometry is arriving OK ??
                                          You need to do some 'smoothing' as OBJs will always arrive 'faceted'...
                                          Presumably the option to import using textures is set 'on'.
                                          Do you have the OBJ's MTL file?
                                          Do you have the texture images specified in that file ?
                                          Can you PM the whole lot zipped so we can see what the issue is...
