very very thanks

An easy search on your part would have turned up the following: http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pauthor=cesaro36 Contact the author at the link given in the error messages. Apparently the author set a time limit on the free trial. That trial period has ended so unless the author establishes a new trial, you'll have to buy the extensions if you want to use them.

Thanks for the explanation, TIG. Now I know what to look for if the model is not imported correctly. In this case, No Image-file was included in MTL-file of the model I tried to import. Once again, thank you very much for the explanation.

I think it might be worth looking at Trimble connect in your case. The idea is using the cloud to sync models. You can give him a component or a global project to manage and sync parts of the model or the whole model: https://extensions.sketchup.com/en/content/trimble-connect-sketchup

Each definition has a unique name. Editable in the Component Browser etc... A definition can have one or more instances placed in the model. If you use 'make_unique' on one [or more] of several instances, then the instance[s] gets a new definition, duplicated from the original, with its name getting an incrementing suffix auto-appended - e.g. 'widget' becomes 'widget#1'... Any instance can also have its own individual name [set in Entity Info] - these instance-names are not directly connected to their definition's name. Unlike definitions instance-names can be repeated and shared by several instances, and even instances of different definitions !

@airwindsolar said: Is there an easy way to purge all the terrain data, other than manually deleting each tile of it? Since all Google Earth Terrain groups have the same name they can be found and deleted rather easily using this "one liner" that can be copied and executed in the Ruby Console. Sketchup.active_model.entities.grep(Sketchup;;Group).reverse.each{|g| next unless g.name=='Google Earth Terrain';g.locked=false;g.erase!}

I know of two that import OBJ's with textures... The Fluid importer is fastest, but costs a few $. My older/slower OBJ-importer is 'free' [you can of course donate!]. There are a few others - I think they only bring in geometry ? An OBJ file that has materials associated with it almost always ships with an MTL file. This defines the materials. It is almost always expected to be in the same folder as the OBJ. To check this read the OBJ in a plain-text editor - near the start it usually sets up the MTL file. Assuming you have an MTL file associated properly with the OBJ... That defines the materials' colors. You can also read that in a plain-text editor. If a material has an associated texture, then the path to its image-file is specified in the MTL code. Usually these image-files reside in a named subfolder, which is given in the path for each material. Occasionally a 'non-standard' MTL expects its image-files to be in the same folder as the MTL itself. Read your OBJ... Find the associated MTL. Ensure it's in the correct place when importing the OBJ. Read the MTL and ensure any needed image-files are also in the correct folder or subfolder... Once it's set up right, then any importer which respects materials should work...

Try searching for 'Hammered Copper Sheet' or 'Planished Copper Sheet' for the base texture.

Yes, I'm using the current drivers. No, I'm actually on Sketchup 2016. I should have mentioned that information in my post. I should probably update my profile info

The 'SketchUcation Toolset' also has an 'Uninstaller' in its submenu. If you use that tool it renames the 'loader' .RB in your Plugins folder as .RBX so it then no longer loads or even gets listed in the disabled plugins in the 'SketchUcation Plugins Manager'. Provided that the RBX still exists it appears in the 'Unistaller' dialog and can be 'reinstalled' if desired. However if you open your Plugins folder [also possible by using the SketchUcation Toolset's submenu item] and find the now uninstalled RBX version and delete that file it's no longer listed. For tidiness you might also want to find any matching subfolder using the same name [common in many newer Extensions], and delete that too... Of course, to see these changes you'll need to restart SketchUp, because dynamic unloading an extension etc is NOT possible within a current session...

@unknownuser said: For the 2d vector scale issue, double check the scene you are exporting from is not only set to Parallel projection, but is also aligned perfectly with regards to view alignment. In addition to what Sonder says here, I do recall "zoom extents" is also required to maintain scale on export. Which may help explain the cropping of the scale bar in your first image? Charlie

If you trying saving materials to the default folder it'll not work. Typically you get an admin warning. Set up a custom materials path under preferences
