[Plugin] Import OBJ with Materials v2.1 20131118
-
Thank you Tig for this wonderful OBJ importer. It means I can now delete all my DXF files which I needed first so I could import into SU.
I'm baffled why this Import feature has not been made part of SU at this late stage of SU development. If it were not for a small group of talented Ruby Scripters, my Plugins folder would not be descending past the bottom of my monitor display. Perhaps Google could, when they find some time, add a scroll bar to the Plugins Folder, or better yet the ability to add more Plugin folders to the menu bar.

I tried to import .obj form Modo. It keeps telling me to change import units without creating any geometry. I tried with several ones but without success.

It guesses the units if there are none set in the obj file.
The dialog let's you select the units.
Have you tried all of the unit options ?
Sometimes large/small units in the obj file affect SUp's ability to make the meshes...
Post a problem obj file [PM me if desired] - not too large !
-
It is 40mb scene. I tried several units but without real success.

What does it zip down to ? OBJ files are very compressible...
I'd try the range of metric from mm to cm and m.
Some very complex meshes won't import but most do... -
Am I reading that this Plugin works with any version of Sketchup, free or Pro?

Should be no difference with either version...
-
Tig , I tried it with every available units ...still nothing.
-
When zipped it is 4.3MB, still big for sending you via pm.
-
Split it into 2 pieces and I'll join it together...

How about you send me your email ands I email it to you.

I have the file and am looking at it now - It does have almost 1.1 million edges !!!
No texture-images just materials in the mtl... -
Yes I know....I managed to import bigger file than that, It has just over 2mil edges.
-
OK..thanks for trying.
-
Well... after along time processing it the importer produced no geometry and no console warnings.
I also tried importing it into Blender... and that failed with an 'out of range error message', so there's something adrift in the obj file's geometry...
Seems your obj file has at least one problem that's giving at least two separate importers hiccups... -
You Saved my day with this one!
Need to import a lot obj. but it takes more then an hour to retexture it in Sketchup. Good work !! -
nice plugin!
-
Sorry guys.. I don't want to spam this topic but I'd be very glad if someone could explain how to import correctly-mapped Xfrog trees into sketchy...
Sorry TIG if I go a little off-topic: I've stumbled on your topic because I am very interested in your plugin: you did a good work. A big thank you. -
this idea is nice !
but this plugin is bad !

If my best isn't good enough then make it better, and share it...
