      i take it a mac version is not in the works nor will it ever be?

      mac sketchup needs a fast OBJ importer and so far, you're the closest hope πŸ˜„

            Thanks a lot fluid! Your plugin is wonderful!

            EDIT: I'm seriously intentioned to buy your plugin. What would be the price in euros (I'm italian)? Thank you

                Just purchased and installed in both SU2014 and SU2013 Mac and the import option for OBJ does not appear. IE: the plugin is not functioning as it is supposed to.

                  Has anyone had any success with this plugin?
                  I downloaded the trial which tells me it's expired even though I have never used it and installed it on the same day as I downloaded it. Two emails to the developer have gone unanswered.
                  I tried the free version on SketchUp 8 but it doesn't work. I can't tell if it's a problem with my file or the plugin.
                  I would like to incorporate this plugin into my workflow but am somewhat frustrated. I would like to hear if this plugin actually works.

                    I really needed a good obj import and got the new $ version.
                    Day one it refused to validate the purchase. πŸ‘Ž
                    Day two it works perfectly and is really fast an imports accurately. πŸ‘ πŸ‘
                    IMO good value and is better than the free one for hi-res people stuff.
                    HMMMMmmmmmm?

                      We are testing a new release of FluidImporter, it should resolve the above issues.

                              They are still working out the kinks on the Mac version. Have to give them credit for communicating with an end user and sending me test builds to see if it is working. Hope they get this working on the macs as I already have a use for it.

                                Comments on Install for PC;

                                1. The fluid importer web site states the free version is for SU 7 &8;
                                2. Web site also states for those the windows version is 7 and 8
                                3. The file for download is a zip file;
                                4. Check properties of the zip file and you will note it has an unblock option. For zip files if you extract first then each file must be unblocked but if you unblock the zip file first before extraction all files will be unblocked at once;
                                5. The extracted exe file installs in the program (x86)/importer directory not the plugin directory?

                                        Very good app.

                                        I have the paid for version and it is fast and accurate. πŸ‘ πŸ‘
                                        Works very well for Artlantis import too (v4.1)

                                          Would it be difficult to create a version that works for Sketchup8 on a Mac? It would be very much appreciated... πŸ˜„
