[Plugin] Universal Importer - v1.2.6 - 30 July 2024
-
Hello @MikeG73
Thanks
Indeed, BLEND format support in this extension is limited to older .blend files and one must claim then map the textures manually...
I hope to improve that in the future
Cheers!

I have the latest DL. Thank you for the update. The scale is now correctly imported.

I have just updated the plugin and tried using it, and I get the following error:
Universal Importer Error: Command failed: cd /d "C:/Users/tenen/AppData/Local/Temp/Universal Importer" && "C:/Users/tenen/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2024/SketchUp/Plugins/universal_importer/Applications/Assimp/Win/assimp.exe" export "export.dae" "export.obj" -tri
I tried going to a previous version of sketchup, where I have an older version of the plugin, and I have the same error
Do you know what this error is, and how I could fix it? -
This is the complete error:
Universal Importer Error: Command failed: cd /d "C:/Users/tenen/AppData/Local/Temp/Universal Importer" && "C:/Users/tenen/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2024/SketchUp/Plugins/universal_importer/Applications/Assimp/Win/assimp.exe" export "export.dae" "export.obj" -tri
C:/Users/tenen/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2024/SketchUp/Plugins/universal_importer/assimp.rb:106:in `convert_model'
Universal Importer Version: 1.2.6
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling microsoft visual runtime, and I still have the problem.
@samuel_t do you have any ideas about this? thank you
-
@sashapepperspray This error message indicates that the bug occurs when a polygon reduction is requested, in the SU viewport, with the plugin toolbar... but I don't know why.
Have you succeeded in this operation with other 3D models? Or this operation fails everytime, whatever the 3D model?
-
@samuel_t It happens anytime I try any model, and also when I try importing models, I get this error
-
@sashapepperspray Do you have Windows 10 or Windows 11? Are you Administrator of your OS?
-
@samuel_t I am the administrator, and I have windows 11

@sashapepperspray
Can you please confirm that the latest Visual C++ Redistributable x64 is installed on your Windows? Here is a reference screenshot:
Hypothesis: You have a security software that blocks the Assimp executable (assimp.exe) when it tries to access the file system
-
@samuel_t I have the laset visual c++ installed. Do you know how I could fix this security problem?
-
@sashapepperspray
The security software is just a clue, I don't know if that's the issue.Using the Windows File Explorer, can you please access this folder:
C:\Users\tenen\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2024\SketchUp\Plugins\universal_importer\Applications\Assimp\Win
Run assimp.exe and then report to this thread any errors you see.
-
@samuel_t nothing happens, a screen pops up for half a second, but disappears, and that is it.

Hello,
I've installed Universal Importer 1.2.6 llast July in order to use it with SketchUp Make 2017 (I'm not a PRO, just for Hobby).I try to use it today and I face this error, even after a reinstall of UI 1.2.6
I'm running
Windows 11 Professionnel -
Hi, I'm having a similar issue with this extension, I just get an error message (below) when I try to import a step file. This is the first time I've tried using this extension.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a whole bunch of components to import from a customer (I'm designing an assembly machine for him).
Really hope you can help as it takes forever to draw them from scratch.
Many thanks.

I'm sure samuel will chip in...
In the meanwhile...
The error message refers to v1.2.4 - there is a newer version v1.2.6
Also the error message relates to the import of an STP file as an OBJ file - you say in your text it was a STeP file [AP203/214 an 242 are supported]
It will help samuel if you clarify exactly what file-type you are trying to import and how you are doing it...
Meanwhile install the newest version of the extension... -
@TIG I've downloaded the latest version and get the following message:
The file I'm trying to import is this:
Hope someone can help as I have 40 of these components to import (or I have to draw them from scratch in SketchUp
Cheers
