I attempted that approach with the Adam B file.
Faulty Sup says.

Close this thread--I no longer wish to participate in these childish level approaches--sorry--too old.

"All you need to do is copy all the text in to notepad (or something similar) and save it with the name "AdamB_obj_importer.rb" or "objloader.rb" depending on which file your trying to use. Its very important that each file has the .rb extension You then just put the file in your plugins folder as usual."

Seriuosly, still, what proportion of ScetchUp users would know that--I have been with 3D etc for 7 years now and have never had to do that?

Will give it a try but NOT impressed.
(Should I go back to LW and XSI!)

Thanks Remus
Old farts like me need perseverence (including from others!)

OK!
The first one seems to be what I have--not yet double checked--but that did not work.(And the information on it's limitations anyway suggest its, really, not viable?)
The other two are complete gobbledygook (sorry--I am not in that world).

Remus, seriously, it's still lemming stuff---what security is given me?
It's all a farce.

Anyway, I still have not had clarification on an acceptable working .obj plugin for SU7free nor if that other thread/site is, actually, accessable yet IF one registers.

I live in hope.

Any site moderator should need only the e-mail address of a sender so that they can be refused access if necessary.

Just as you can refuse to accept phone calls from certain phone numbers.
(Though still no solution to junk calls on the phone yet! I ask these "survey" people where I can send my standard consulting fee of $50 to! It's magical!)

Brian

What "security"?

Think about it!

"Not sure what you mean by having to create a password to get use the forum, though. I would have thought the reasons for that were fairly obvious"

With all the many, many sites I am involved on I have the same user name and password. This site not only would not accept that password but wanted a peculiar/un-necessary mixed construction password.

I am too old to becoming a Lemming to sillyness.

Your saying I need a NEW user name and password to get access to another part of the forum?
Thats crazy! I don't think I would do it---- just on principle!.(It was bad enough that I had to create a brand new individual password simply for this site in the first place)

The .obj plugin is there, installed, but it does nothing.(It's there on the Plugin dropdown)
Perhaps someone who has actually got it to work in the free version of SketchUP may have some installing instructions differing from those provided.

Sorry if I sound grumpy but it all seems messier than I am used to.

Thanks

Thanks for your help but I find this forum site most peculiar to work around.

That last extensions-index link for example wont accept my user name?

Brian

PS And that .obj plugin does not work for me in the free SketchUP 7.

caddict

Can you direct me to that Ruby file please.

Brian

At 76, SketchUp is looking a nice addition to my fun modelling efforts.
But, no way could I afford the Pro version.

Is there a plugin that would enable me to both Import and Export say .obj files with the free version of sketchUp?
