Here my workflow.
Construction on Sketchup 17. Export as collada file.
Import to 3DCoat for texturing. Export as obj file.
Import to Model Converter X for checking and file conversion. Export as obj file.I do check the polygons in every step and they are the same in every step. Pic1 shows the correct wireframe so far.
Import to Sketchup with "Universal Importer Plugin". Now the wireframe is not as it was in all the steps ahead. Some of the edges are missing. I´m not using any polygon reduction. Pic2 shows the result after the import.
My question to you is only, why the imported wireframe is not the same as it was in all the other steps ahead. Because the wireframe is broken in some area, the texture does´nt fit any more.
For an additional explanation. The workfrlow may seam strange and all can be done with different software solutions much easier. You are all right, but this is my workflow I´m used to it.
Hi Walter,
I don't want to criticize your workflow, but try to have less conversion steps as this can cause problems.

Yes.
Please update your forum profile. It's more than 10 years out of date.

Universal Importer Error: Command failed: cd "/Users/davidott/Downloads/Test" && "/Users/davidott/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2023/SketchUp/Plugins/universal_importer/Applications/Assimp/Mac/assimp" export "uir-source.3ds" "uir-inter.obj" -tri/Users/davidott/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2023/SketchUp/Plugins/universal_importer/assimp.rb:106:in `convert_model'
Universal Importer Version: 1.2.3
Hi I had the same problem (running on wine in Linux) and trying to run assimp.exe manually showed that it couldnot find the vcruntime140_1.dll. Copying or linking this to the .../Win/Assimp/ folder solved it.
Greeting John

Hi Samuel
Thank your for your reply. I know and you are right. Because I check the mesh in every step and can only find the broken mesh, when importing with "Universal Importer" back to Sketchup, I thought there may be a setting I missed or something else that I did wrong.
But any way, thank you for the response.
Best regards

- Supports an unlimited number of embedded textures (previously the maximum number was 1000).

Hi there, I'm having an error importing OBJ and FBX files with the same error.
The file was exported from 3ds max 2024 and imported into sketchup 2022. -
Hi,
I'm trying to import the file highlighted in the following photo,
but I get the following message.
what should I do?
Thank you. -
Hey There...just a quick question on compatibility with SketchUp 2024...is it?
...the text states only 2023...I'm going to give it a try anyway, but just wondered... -
Hey @Gunner77,
It should works on SketchUp 2024. Let me know if not.

1.2.5 version:
- Provides finally a good support of STEP (AP203, AP214, AP242) files, thanks to the included Mayo command-line converter.
- Supports two new file formats: IGES (v5.3) and BREP, thanks again to the Mayo software and the Open CASCADE Technology.
Note 1: For the moment, reducing polygons when importing a STEP/IGES/BREP file is not possible. While waiting for a future version which will fill this gap, you can always reduce the polygons by clicking on the swan icon in the plugin toolbar.
Note 2: Although I can't confirm it, the import of STEP/IGES/BREP files should work on macOS as well.

I tried the Universal Importer using a 3D step file from McMaster Carr of a bolt and nut. The bolt was 3/4" long. The import brought it in over 100" long.. Am I asking too much to have it come in at the correct scale?
