    Good and beautiful day to everyone!
    I am experiencing a problem that I don't know how to solve...so...
    I run sketchup make 2016. I am designing boats and then I want to export the model to .x file so that I can use it in a ship simulator called virtual sailor.
    After an extended and exhausting search for a proper plugin, I found one that I used to work with some years ago when I was doing this again. Its called 3dradexporter.
    So, when I try to export the model as directx down below in the sketchup, comes up a line that says "analysing model" and starts counting...it makes a really fast counting to 138-200 entities and then...freezes...nothing happens...
    1)I have tried to scale my model smaller but I have seen that entities remain the same.
    2) I tried to put another plugin but it's results are awful
    3) I exported as a 3ds in perfect speed and then imported it in blender and the model was ok and exporting to directx works but blender doesn't get the textured of the model (png,jpg etc.)
    4) back in 2012 when I was doing the same thing, the exports where successful -again with 3dradexporter-
    5) I saved the model as a sketchup 8 model then tried to do the same thing fRom SU8 and again ...frozen...
    6) could someone give light in my life? Haha..so frustrating...

      appears to be something wrong with your model... did other (simple sample) models work?

      run ThomThoms "CleanUp³ " Plugin to fix common issues.

            So, i did a cleanup without the "remove duplicate faces" option because it needs 3,5 hours (wow).
            Here is a snapshot of the counting which froze again and here is a link with the model + the plugin if someone wants to "simulate" my way of doing this...any help would be amazing...

            i cant upload it..i can send it to someone's mail maybe..

              After many hours of alchemy there was no result. I really dont know what's wrong both for this model and for 2 other models which are detailed...I tried xexporter which was fast and I was happy but...the results were a complete mess..I think I've used everything...what else is there??
