      Hello,

      I have got a big problem with SketchUp 8 and the COLLADA (.dae) Files.

      I would like to import multiple rings, because of the file-size.
      The little one rings I can import but I have got the problem with the bigger rings.
      For Example the file β€ž3.daeβ€œ I can import, but the file β€ž2.daeβ€œ I can not import.

      I have got no declaration, why I can not import the file β€ž2.daeβ€œ!?
      I don’t know what I’m still trying to.

      I hope somebody can help me!
      Thanks a lot.

      Chris

        Hi,

        Firstly welcome to SCF πŸ‘

        Have you tried importing into Blender then exporting as .obj?

        I've imported both files into SketchUp without issue.

        Download the free D'oh Book for SketchUp πŸ“–

          Hi,

          did you import the two COLLADA-Files (.dae) or the two Blender-Files (.obj)?

          I'm looking for an explanation, why I cannot import the File "2.dae".

          Thanks,
          Chris

            It could be a fault with SketchUp collada importer. Trying out various file formats can yield better results.

            What app gave you the .dae format?

                Hi,

                Thanks for the skp-File.
                How did you do that?
                "COLLADA -> Blender .obj -> SketchUp" --> it was your way?

                The COLLADA-File comes from ArcGIS 10.

                  Yes, with some trickery to get the problem file to import.

                  Not sure what .dae format ArcGIS uses but it's not playing nice with certain applications.

                  Glad to help πŸ‘

                    ArcGIS creates the model in the kml file, not a separate collada file (I think). If that is the case, try this plugin:
