      Hi Samuel,

      Have downloadeed the latest version along with sketchup pro 2023 for mac, but every time i try to import a model fbx or obj im getting the errow shown.
      Any advise
      Universal Importer Error: Command failed: cd "/Users/davidott/Downloads/Test" && "/Users/davidott/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2023/SketchUp/Plugins/universal_importer/Applications/Assimp/Mac/assimp" export "uir-source.3ds" "uir-inter.obj" -tri

      Hi David,

      In this situation, the error message does not provide enough details. Maybe your macOS is not allowed to run Assimp executable?

        Hi Samuel
        First of all thank you very much for this great and super useful extension!
        But I do habe a problem on importing from Model Converter X.
        Here my workflow.

        Construction on Sketchup 17. Export as collada file.
        Import to 3DCoat for texturing. Export as obj file.
        Import to Model Converter X for checking and file conversion. Export as obj file.

        I do check the polygons in every step and they are the same in every step. Pic1 shows the correct wireframe so far.

        Import to Sketchup with "Universal Importer Plugin". Now the wireframe is not as it was in all the steps ahead. Some of the edges are missing. I´m not using any polygon reduction. Pic2 shows the result after the import.

        My question to you is only, why the imported wireframe is not the same as it was in all the other steps ahead. Because the wireframe is broken in some area, the texture does´nt fit any more.

        For an additional explanation. The workfrlow may seam strange and all can be done with different software solutions much easier. You are all right, but this is my workflow I´m used to it.

          Hi!

          Really love the look of this extension, however, having some issues with importing blend and obj files.

            Hi Walter,

            I don't want to criticize your workflow, but try to have less conversion steps as this can cause problems.

              Hi James!

              Your .blend model was created with which version of Blender? Could you send it to me via PM please?

                      Hi I had the same problem (running on wine in Linux) and trying to run assimp.exe manually showed that it couldnot find the vcruntime140_1.dll. Copying or linking this to the .../Win/Assimp/ folder solved it.

                      Greeting John

                        Hi Samuel
                        Thank your for your reply. I know and you are right. Because I check the mesh in every step and can only find the broken mesh, when importing with "Universal Importer" back to Sketchup, I thought there may be a setting I missed or something else that I did wrong.
                        But any way, thank you for the response.
                        Best regards
                        Walter

                            1.2.4 version:

                            • Tries to preserve the original materials names. You should see less materials named <auto>1, <auto>2, etc.
                            • Enhances compatibility for (non textured) 3MF files and IRR files, thanks to Assimp's contributors! 😊
                            • Supports an unlimited number of embedded textures (previously the maximum number was 1000).
                            • Includes an Assimp CLI tool compiled for the Intel Mac and Apple Silicon processors: M1, M2, etc. 🚀

                            Download latest Universal Importer plugin from SketchUcation PluginStore.

                                          Hey There...just a quick question on compatibility with SketchUp 2024...is it?
                                          ...the text states only 2023...I'm going to give it a try anyway, but just wondered...

                                            It should works on SketchUp 2024. Let me know if not.
