SketchUp 2017 DAE Export for Sketchfab

ntxdave · 15 Dec 2016, 00:10

I was testing the ability to export a DAE file which could be used in Sketchfab. With SketchUp Pro 2016 the DAE file can be uploaded to Sketchfab. However when I try to export the same file using SketchUp Pro 2016 the upload gets an error and the upload will not work. I do not see any indication in the failure message about what the error is.

The same file works fine with the SketchUp Sketchfab Uploader plugin in SketchUp Pro 2017 which is fine except that I cannot use the uploader plugin if I need to re-upload a file.

preserve_instancing must be turned off, and I would also turn off textures maps for your car wash...

Tried those settings and it did not have any affect on the problem. I am talking to Sketchfab as it seems the error might be on their side or that SketchUp 2017 is doing something different. The model shows up as empty on the Sketchfab side.

If we get a resolution, I will post it here...
