Import Problems
-
At a guess i'd say the import scripts your using assume the model unit is inches and so are messing up the scale on import.
A quick thought: what units are you working with in SU? the importer might go by what your model units are, thus messing up the import. If this is the case you could try changing your model units to metres.
another temporary solution would be to use the tape measure tool to resize the model after youve imported it. All you do is select the stuff you want to resize->measure a known length with the tape measure->type in how long it's meant to be->press enter.

I thought about the resize idea.. the only problem there is exporting back the completed assemblies to tS.. but I can work round that if I have to..
I've tried all the templates I have and it's the same with all of them.
the scripts I'm using arehttp://sketchuptips.blogspot.com/2006/12/plugin-obj-importer.html
http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=19866both are giving me the same results.. a 78x78x78inch cube is appearing as a 2x2x2inch cube in Sketchup (same with non cubes - all objects are being affected). position's being scaled as well.
ironically, exporting is working fine.
edit - I tried the imports on a 2nd machine with a fresh install of SU. same results

Which scripts are you using?
Its worth having a look through them to see if theirs anything obvious that you could change to get them to import properly.
