[Plugin] Universal Importer - v1.2.7 - 14 Nov. 2026

[artemisglt]

hello! and thank you for the great plug in! I am trying to import an obj file of this bed in sketchup.
link text

I select the option to claim missing textures and select the obj file. In which order do I select the textures?

The model has a diffuse map, two normal maps and a displacement map. If I select the diffuse map and the two normal maps, I get an error..

Any ideas?

[panixia]

@artemisglt You just select the diffuse map and call it a day.
(you can add the other maps after the import if you really need them)

[artemisglt]

@panixia if i press claim missing textures, then import the obj object, I select the diffuse map and then it asks me to select again another missing texture. if i click the normal map, it asks me for a third texture and if select all three I receive an error. if i select the diffuse map every time again I receive an error.. any ideas?

[panixia]

@artemisglt does it happen with a specific model or with all models?

[artemisglt]

@panixia it happens with all the models, that is why I asked to see what I am doing wrong. I send the link to the initial model, I referred to, if you can have a look.

Hello, thank you for the community plugin, but I'm getting this error message when I try to import. It looks like you had someone else with a similar error about a year ago. Any solution?

@mblally Hello. You're welcome! This issue will be fixed in the next plugin version.

[sashapepperspray]

[samuel_t]

@sashapepperspray Most probably today or tomorrow.

Hello Samuel
It's only an Importer for SketchUp or it can be used as a Standalone for any Progs as a converter ?
(Il vaut mieux s'adresser au bon dieu, qu'à ses saints!

@pilou Hello

This SketchUp plugin is of course tailored for SketchUp.
However you can use its underlying converters outside.
