      @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)

        @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?

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

            @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?

                      Hello everyone! I'm happy to announce the availability of Universal Importer v1.2.7 πŸ™‚


                      What's new?

                      • CAD hierarchy can be preserved. This option is enabled by default; you can turn it off in the plugin menu.
                        Below is a STEP file imported with this option enabled.

                      • The CAD files import on Mac. Here's another STEP file imported on macOS Golden Gate (27).

                      • IGES colors are imported, thanks to OpenCascade and Mayo.

                      • Thanks to Assimp contributors, you shouldn't see anymore these errors:

                        Failed to load [3MF] file: At least one mesh must be there
                        Failed to load file: GLTF: Draco mesh compression not supported
                        
                      • 3MF models with textures are supported. Note however texture mapping issues may occur.

                      • A "Soften Coplanar Faces" option is available. Enabled by default; it can be turned off in the plugin menu.

                      • You can import a model from the root of a drive where your documents are stored, thanks to the contribution of Eegee.

                      Download latest Universal Importer plugin from SketchUcation PluginStore.

                        Hello Samuel
                        It's only an Importer for SketchUp or it can be used as a Standalone for any Progs as a converter ?

                          @pilou Hello πŸ™‚

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