Import script to import 300 dae into 1 project

peacelim · 9 Apr 2018, 12:12

Hi!

Tested the latest script (import_from_folder_v1.6.rbz) on sketchup make 2017, doesn't seem to work

Pop up shows that the import was completed but the models could not be found in the scene.

Similarly, I have hundreds of dae files which i would like to import into the scene.

Any help or update would be helpful.

Thanks in advance!

If you look in the model's Component Browser you should see that all of the DAE files will have successfully imported as individual definitions, BUT they will be without any instances.
But that is the nature of multiple imports like this - at least in the newer SketchUp versions.
If you really want to import several DAE files, and add instances, then the attached RBZ is an alternative which does that for you.

Please download and install it... and feedback...

Honestly, without contributions of TIG, and other developers like him (please don't be offended if I don't name anyone else specifically, the list would be long) SU just wouldn't be the same. Thanks for your contributions devs!

Really like to thanks all developers like TIG for their contributions to make SU a better place/community for all users

Hi TIG, thanks for writing this plugin.
This appears to be broken again in SU2019 Pro.
I have imported a bunch of DAE files, which appear in object browser, but it doesn't create instances.

Can you run it with the Ruby Console open and see what is reported in there, if anything...

It should work in v2019...

Do you get a report-file written ?
If so what does it say for each file that it imports ?

Hi mate, maybe operator error the first couple of times I tried. Confirmed working in SU2019 Pro both with Collada DAE meshes created in Meshlab and from batch triangulated Collada export from Blender.
