      [...] having some issues with importing blend and obj files.

      Hi James!

      Your .blend model was created with which version of Blender? Could you send it to me via PM please?

              Hi Samuel,

              Have downloadeed the latest version along with sketchup pro 2023 for mac, but every time i try to import a model fbx or obj im getting the errow shown.
              Any advise
              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 Walter,

                I don't want to criticize your workflow, but try to have less conversion steps as this can cause problems.

                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
                Walter

                    1.2.4 version:

                    • Tries to preserve the original materials names. You should see less materials named <auto>1, <auto>2, etc.
                    • Enhances compatibility for (non textured) 3MF files and IRR files, thanks to Assimp's contributors! 😊
                    • Supports an unlimited number of embedded textures (previously the maximum number was 1000).
                    • Includes an Assimp CLI tool compiled for the Intel Mac and Apple Silicon processors: M1, M2, etc. πŸš€

                    Download latest Universal Importer plugin from SketchUcation PluginStore.

                              Hi there, I'm having an error importing OBJ and FBX files with the same error. Screenshot 2024-05-09 164640.jpg
                              The file was exported from 3ds max 2024 and imported into sketchup 2022.

                                  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.

                                      Universal Importer - STEP Compressor.png

                                      • 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.

                                      Download latest Universal Importer plugin from SketchUcation PluginStore.

                                        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?

                                            @samuel_t Hello Sam, this is a great extension, thank you. But it does not seem to support .blend files, very well. Is there a fix?

                                            Cheers!
