@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

@sashapepperspray
I have installed an older version of the plugin (1.1.9) and I now can do poligon reduction, but I can't import, I get the following error message
do you have any ideas? -
getting this error.. any solution?
-
@shagrat Sorry, I didn't see your posts. I think it's too late now...
This issue could be related to importing a model from a remote server (here
\\fileserver). -
@vadhome Hi! Someone else reported an issue importing CAD files (such as STEP) on macOS with Universal Importer. I plan to rent a Mac to investigate...
-
@sashapepperspray, @esthery Can you please send me (in private if you prefer) the source model you're trying to import?
-
@samuel_t Any model I try doesn't work, but here is onejuggler.obj
-
The importer does not seem to except .blend files either
Cheers!
-
@sashapepperspray Thanks for the example model file! I successfully imported it with Universal Importer v1.2.6.
Something goes wrong on your system...
You can try once again to reinstall the Microsoft Visual C++ library.
