Hi James!
Your .blend model was created with which version of Blender? Could you send it to me via PM please?

Here my workflow.
Construction on Sketchup 17. Export as collada file.
Import to 3DCoat for texturing. Export as obj file.
Import to Model Converter X for checking and file conversion. Export as obj file.I do check the polygons in every step and they are the same in every step. Pic1 shows the correct wireframe so far.
Import to Sketchup with "Universal Importer Plugin". Now the wireframe is not as it was in all the steps ahead. Some of the edges are missing. I´m not using any polygon reduction. Pic2 shows the result after the import.
My question to you is only, why the imported wireframe is not the same as it was in all the other steps ahead. Because the wireframe is broken in some area, the texture does´nt fit any more.
For an additional explanation. The workfrlow may seam strange and all can be done with different software solutions much easier. You are all right, but this is my workflow I´m used to it.
Hi Walter,
I don't want to criticize your workflow, but try to have less conversion steps as this can cause problems.
Hello Pilou
It will be compatible starting from SketchUp 2017 Make.
The PBR 2.x plugin for SketchUp could render the atmosphere with volumetric clouds in real-time.
Work in progress:

Hi Samuel,
Have downloadeed the latest version along with sketchup pro 2023 for mac, but every time i try to import a model fbx or obj im getting the errow shown.
Any advise
Universal Importer Error: Command failed: cd "/Users/davidott/Downloads/Test" && "/Users/davidott/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2023/SketchUp/Plugins/universal_importer/Applications/Assimp/Mac/assimp" export "uir-source.3ds" "uir-inter.obj" -tri
Hi David,
In this situation, the error message does not provide enough details. Maybe your macOS is not allowed to run Assimp executable?

Dear samuel_t, I just installed your plugin, but I can't import the step file, I get this message. At the same time, a duplicate of it with a different name is created in the folder with this file. You can help me?
Dear Roman,
Unfortunately, compatibility with the STEP format is low.
1.2.3 version doesn't display anymore the "Source dir of model to import is not writable" error message.
Download latest Universal Importer plugin from SketchUcation PluginStore.
Thanks for the technical details. I will solve this problem as soon as possible.

Does not want to export FBX and other files. Reinstalling doesn't help
Try importing a 3D model stored in a folder to which you have write access.
