      I only use mac, but...

      you could, save each file to 'Trash', close it, then open a new for the next import?

      SU should then be starting fresh each time and you don't need to erase any entities?

      just a thought, I use the idea in a script...
      this is the an extract for Trash on a mac...

      def revert
      >   trash_copy = (File.expand_path("~/.Trash/" + "." + @orig.title + ".skp")).dup.freeze
      >   @orig.save(trash_copy)
      >   Sketchup.send_action("closeDocument;")
      >   Sketchup.send_action("newDocument;")
      > end

            hahahaha

            even that didn't help...

            I'm trying to import 126 faceme .skp then run components to grid.

            I ain't getting past the import all part as yet.

            SU2015 64bit Pro in case that helps?

                      keep the puts deleted, but on line 106 add an new line UI.messagebox(name)
                      try on a small number of skps first
                      just to see if slowing it down helps...

                        That means you need to press OK 126 times !
                        Rich, why not ZIP and email me those 126 SKPs, explain [clearly] what you want to do...

                          sorry, just trying to help out, thought you were at pub...

                          it's failing with only two models to import...

                          removing the puts helps sometimes,
                          pre-saving the model helps sometimes,
                          adding the UI.messagebox helps sometimes...

                          but if I try a larger folder it bugsplats again...

                            OK, I'll check it out - not a bug reports for years, then three come at once...

                            Maybe it needs updating...

                              I just revisited this Plugins code.
                              As it was, it still worked fine for me on multiple SKP imports, but I have made some adjustments because the SKP import could now be more 'streamlined' > SUp v8...

                              Here's the updated v1.4 RBZ in the PluginStore http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=import_from_folder

                              Please try it and feedback.

                              PS: Rich - you can email me the 126 SKPs in a ZIP if you like ?

                                  They are weird SKP names !
                                  What happens with a simpler set of 'sensible' names ??
                                  Maybe I need to try and force the file path's encoding to UTF-8 if >=v2014 ?

                                  Are they all real SKPs ?
                                  Is their version <= SUp version you are using ?
                                  If it's > then you will get an 'empty-skp' message for each one...

                                    Here's v1.5, it forces the file names to UTF-8 in >v2014 to see if that addresses file-type errors

                                        no joy, it's failing on even a simple 2 skp, good filenames folder...

                                        the other folder names are deliberately obnoxious to represent a 'user' folder, but the names all show in message bar as they are found...
