Creating of .dae file with textures within

[mario_n]

I have to export .dae file with its textures, which are saved as external files. But, I have another question: is it possible to export .dae file with textures within that file, so no other files will be generated, just .dae. I heard somewhere that is possible, but I don't know how to do this?

No - the exported DAE [text-format] always has its related image-files in a folder of the same-name - but of course you can then make a ZIP of the DAE and its folder to send on to someone - if that is your issue...

In passing... if you exporte a KMZ, then that is effectively a renamed ZIP, containing a DAE file and its images-folder inside a 'models' subfolder, with a KML file at its base level.
