        Please learn to do a bit more directed searching...

        There are hundreds of useful tools in the SketchUcation PluginStore...
        So try this: https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=OBJexporter

        Note that the very first post in this thread even includes a link to that very page !
        https://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=294844#p294844
        i.e. the large button near the end of the post saying "Download"...

            There's no limit, but the more faces the more time it takes.
            How big is the file ?

            When you say it's missing out faces, can you explain fully.
            Are there faces that are simply not there ?
            Or are there faces with no materials ?
            One possibility is that your model has reversed faces with textures on their backs, these will not show in most render apps. Either getting displayed as black, white or 100%-transparent faces.

            To see if there are reversed faces use View > Monochrome, with a Style that has a distinctly colored back-face color. If you see any back-faces, then they won't render properly.

            It's best to ensure faces are properly oriented as you model using Monochrome and the context-menu > Reverse...

            Luckily there are tools to try and fix such issues for you...
            Try this one of mine... https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=FixReversedFaceMaterials
            Please read its usage notes...

              I have been trying this exporter, and it works great, expect on components or groups that are mirrored or flipped. The normals are reversed. I have made sure that all the faces/normals are facing the correct way, before using this. They are. Any ideas?

                This Exporter is quite old and it is no longer being updated.
                However, a work around for your reversed normals in mirrored objects would be to use the Outliner to Select all of those Groups/Component-Instances and Explode them, then do the Export, then Undo the Explode ?

                  I have never heard of the outliner tool. Thank you. Yes, I could, and have, exploded the entire model, before using this script to export it. I was trying to avoid doing it. Thank you for responding.

                    I know this thread is quite old, but I'm fairly new to Sketchup, at least as far as doing something practical with it. I was told this plug in will allow me to export my Sketchup models to 3ds Max (which I don't even know how to use yet). The idea being I can then texture them nicely.

                    Now I have downloaded the OBJexporter which is a .rbz file. How do I install that into the Sketchup plug ins?

                      Are you actually using SketchUp 8 as indicated in your profile? The answer to your question depends on the version.
