                  Wow, over 1.6million lines of data? What are you importing?

                  Lately you've been tan, suspicious for the winter.

                    A big pain in the arse freelance project due tomorrow!. I had to diss-assemble it in another piece of software and then bring it into sketchup piece by piece using the plugin.

                      Time for learning the basics of blender! Just navigation, select, imports, exports.

                      Export from blender as 3ds, you still have to split the project into groups as 3ds can transfer ~64K tris max per mesh. You can transfer the whole sceen at once though. It's very very fast and stable. If UV maps exist, pay attention on the texture names (for 3ds, 8 digits max!!!)
                      I do it all the time and it's stable and fast. Please, forget the obj importer, go for the default 3ds.
                      Among other uses, blender is my swiss army knife.

                      BTW, the free obj exporter ruby for SU, works OK. Though still something wrong, all vertices are doubled. Easy to fix in blender (delete double verts / recalculate normals outside)

                          Yeah thats exactly what I did, split it up in blender and exported into SU as separate 3ds components.

                          Cheers

                            OK then. Still remind you the eight digits texname issue.
