@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?

@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?

[sashapepperspray]

@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.

@MikeG73 I'm not sure to understand you.

Universal Importer isn't compatible with recent .blend files but this may change in the future

@vadhome I rented a Mac Mini M1 for 24H but I couldn't reproduce the bug shown in your screenshot, at least with macOS Sonoma 14.6.1. However, SketchUp 2025 crashed several times randomly when placing the model to import. I need to investigate further...
