[Plugin] Universal Importer - v1.2.6 - 30 July 2024

[Glenn at home]

Huh, so far working as advertised for me. I've only tried a few of the formats so far but they mostly worked for me. Here is a .gltf file I exported from Simlab and used this plugin to bring it into SU. It took a few minutes, like 3 but it came in with good results.

Could you please upload your model to a file hoster or here? This way I could debug it.

I have not had this program to import any files, STL or OBJ or STP. Below is the following error message I get trying to import an STP file of a nut that is 24k large.

I did notice in the program, it lists the file as obj file when the file name is, CROSBY 2160 300T NUT.STP.

Thanks for your help.

Did you tried plugin with another model? If yes, does same (assimp stop) problem occurs?

Install Microsoft Visual C++ library then restart SketchUp. Let me know if problem persists.

Well at least with version 4 I am getting an error message, attached below, for a stl and stp file

Will the smallest I can get the file is 5442 KB.

Attached is an image of the file another converter. This is a downed oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico.

If you can send me an email address, I can use google mail to send the file.

Hi!

I downloaded the latest update but I'm still getting the same bug with every file format. I cannot import any file to SketchUp

By the way, I think it would be cool to also have polygon reduction as standalone tool for meshes that already exist in SketchUp. Because we haven't had a decent free polyreducer in SketchUp so far. It's just a suggestion.

Regards,
Michał

On macOS 10.13.6 & SU2017 the v1.0.6 works fine with your model.

It's a good idea

In recent versions of plugin there's a mechanism that prevents copy of a too big folder. To fix this issue: Create a sub folder in your Documents then place model and textures inside that sub folder. Re-import.
