Best OBJ import plug-in.
-
Can anyone recommend what they feel is the best OBJ format import plug-in. I know I have seen a couple different plug-ins, and was hoping for some feedback on those Sketch-Up users that have tried them.
Thanks for the suggestions.

I think TIG's is the latest and greatest:

Although that does fail on some obj file formats - e.g. where the vertices and faces are not tabulated together - however, opening these obj's in MeshLab [free] and exporting them as .dae lets you then import into SUp successfully...

Its also worth noting that Meshman another [free application], has some very good remeshing options.

Thank you for the suggestions. I downloaded the plug-in from TIG and got it to work rather well with some sample OBJ files. I'm going to study his code to see if I can tweak some things for my own OBJ import needs.
I also appreciate the reference to meshlab. I'll download and install that so I have another program in which I can test the OBJ files I am creating.
