Batch converting skp files to other formats

[Arzka007]

I'm trying to make a small Ruby script that batch converts .skp files to other formats...

Could someone show sample code on how to open .skp file and then export it as .dae? I tried this but for some reason it's not working (.dae file has different content than original .skp file):

model = Sketchup.active_model
model.import "C;/skp_files/example.skp"
model.export "C;/dae_files/example.dae"

It seems importing an skp file as a component requires user interaction, namely to place it somewhere (Trimble?!?!).

Try this:

model = Sketchup.active_model
file = "C;/skp_files/example.skp"
Sketchup.open_file(file)
model.export(file.sub(/\.skp$/, ".dae"))
