Hi, Samuel!

Hi Einstein!

@einstein said:

I have reinstalled MS Visual C++ as you advised and now I can import stuff Thank you!

The plugin always asks how big the imported model should be. It doesn't preserve its original size.

Scaling feature doesn't work for all formats.

@einstein said:

I was thinking of remesher tool as one working on selection, which would be more comfortable than remeshing entire model, as it goes now.
[...]

I tried to make it work with selection only but I don't know why it was VERY slow. So I gave up this idea...

@einstein said:

When I import a model with multiple textures, I can only select one texture file and that texture is applied.
Sometimes I can but another time I cannot have all textures included. Some models may be badly textured but I'm almost sure that I tried importing the same chair as TutorialsUp did with success, while I didn't get both textures (only one). I'm attaching both OBJ and FBX version of the model.

I inspected attached model. Indeed, it doesn't reference any texture. ~~In this case: you have to remap textures in a external software before importing model in SketchUp.~~ Since v1.1.3, it's no more an issue.

blend / obj with 1.1.3

Oxer

The .blend files of 2.80 don't work dought to changes in the API, try with .blend files of Blender 2.79, for me these work fine.

Samuel , really the Model height (cm) option do something, I changed this parameter to different values but the imported model has the same dimensions always.

Hi Oxer! This feature works pretty well on Windows. I don't know why it doesn't work at all on macOS.

This Blender is not supported. Export to .fbx or, as suggested by @Oxer, retry with Blender 2.79.

1.1.4 version fixes rendering of some high-density models (typically trees).

Download latest Universal Importer plugin from SketchUcation PluginStore.

Hello man, thanks in advance for the app.
But every time I try to import an FBX, messages like that appear.

"WrogramData"?

Does it actually say "WrogramData" instead of "ProgramData"?

Hello. Reinstall Microsoft Visual C++ library (it can fix your error) then let me know if problem persists.

Hello. Importer Error. What does that mean

Maybe this has been asked, I tried to search it just in case, so apologies if it has been answered already... Is there any plan to support PDF in the future? Lack of PDF import to Windows Sketchup boggles my mind.

Hello @kostiaarh. This sounds like a bug. Could you please upload your model to a file hoster? This way I could debug it.

There's no plan to support PDF in future.
