So grateful to find this!!

The model materials do not map to the model [...]
You don't select materials? Can you elaborate on this?
@chalupsky said:
I'm asked the maximum height, (1800mm), I cancel, and the model comes in at about 1/18 the size.
It's a known issue: sizing doesn't work for all models

How do I install your Universal Importer plugin in Sketchup 2021 Pro?
Follow instructions given in Universal Importer plugin documentation.

Samuel, thanks for creating and sharing this plugin.
Question: is it possible to to implement the original scale, units and origin respect (in fbx at least)?
I don't think so... The scale is lost during model conversion. I'd study the question if I find the time

Hello Samuel,
First, thanks for the plugin, the idea is very cool.
The only problem I encountered is that when I try to reduce the polygon count, instead they will increase (together with the size of the 3D model) and it's the opposite result of what I'm trying to achieve. What do you suggest?
Face count before reduction: 261609
Face count after reduction: 4544015My target was 80000
Hello Autumn Wind,
Try to start with a greater target (eg. 200000) then decrease...

My bad. Old versions of material_browser.rbz file include Rubyzip library at root… That’s why there’s a zip.rb file and a zip folder at root of Plugins folder. You can safely uninstall the “zip” library with native Extension Manager. Then, if you want to continue to use Material Browser plugin: upgrade it. New versions of Material Browser plugin include Rubyzip library in a proper way.

Hello Mike, Could you please send me a (temp) link to these OBJ and MTL files in a private message?

Nice useful plugin.
I'm glad to hear that

Can I create components instead of groups? Is it possible to add components that exist in the model to an assembly?
You can only do parametric operations on a parametric group but you can copy a regular component that exists in model and paste it as a parametric group. To do so: right click on a component in main SketchUp window and select "Parametric Modeling > Extract Shape From Group Or Component".
You can also convert a parametric group to a regular group. To do so: right click in void inside Nodes Editor and select "Freeze parametric entities". Then, convert it to a regular component in main SketchUp window.
@patriarch said:
And is it possible to insert lines and planes, profiles?
Yes. Right click on lines in main SketchUp window and select "Parametric Modeling > Extract Shape From Curve Or Edges".
@patriarch said:
And it would also be nice to have the function of renaming existing groups.
You can rename parametric groups inside Nodes Editor. For regular groups, you can use "Outliner".
1.0.9 version improves user experience. You don't need anymore to reopen Material Browser UI after you've checked "Display only model materials", etc.
1.0.8 version fixes "special chars in material name" issue. For example: a material named "<auto>1" doesn't cause anymore a missing thumbnail.
1.0.1 version fixes "first window stays open" issue.
Download latest Clipping Fix plugin from the SketchUcation PluginStore.
This free SketchUp plugin allows you to fix "Camera Clipping Plane" issue in one click. Note this plugin isn't compatible with macOS.

1.0.7 version fixes "TypeError: superclass mismatch for class StreamableStream" issue. Material Browser plugin is now compatible with SketchUcation ExtensionStore plugin.
A SketchUp 2021 user reported that Material Browser v1.0.6 conflicts with SketchUcation ExtensionStore. You can't enable these plugins at same time because they use the same Zip library.
I'm looking for a solution...
I just published 1.0.6 version. It should fix "TypeError: superclass mismatch for class StreamableStream" issue. Please upgrade if you have this issue. Then, tell me if it works.
@BklynBoy, could you please upload these OBJ files somewhere? This way I could also try on my PC.

Hi everyone!
Sorry, I wasn't subscribed to current topic. I don't have conflicts on my computer. Try to disable all other plugins and re-enable them one by one. Yes I know it's a tedious task but I see no other way...
Hello Mike,
On my Windows 10 computer with SketchUp 2017, process hangs at 50% when plugin imports simplified "Panther" model. So yes, I suggest you to try with other models.
Simon Joubert created a great schema that makes use of latest evolutions of "Move" node.
You can download it here. Right-click. Save link as...
What's new in 0.0.5 version?
"Align" and "Get points" nodes types were added. They can help you, for example, to place an entity on top of another one. See new schema: Pencil.
"Copy" and "Move" nodes have evolved a bit. They're retrocompatible.
When you input a decimal number in a node, scale of number defines step for next increment (or decrement). This means if you input 1.25, next increment will be 1.26. Step is adaptive... See documentation to learn more.
Arrows icons in numeric fields were removed because they were too buggy. You can still use keyboard arrows to increment (or decrement).
You can use deg function in "Calculate" nodes to convert degrees to radians... See documentation to learn more.
Selected wire is highlighted.
Plugin was translated to french.

What's new in 0.0.2 version?
More node types are available in math domain: "Multiply", "Divide" and "Calculate". With this latter, one can write complex mathematic formulas. See documentation to learn more...
Boolean operations were introduced in Nodes Editor. Unite, intersect and subtract parametric solids thanks to brillant work of Julia Christina Eneroth. Note these operations work on all SketchUp versions, including free ones. Warning: these operations can slowdown SketchUp.
One can structurate parametric model with "Make group" nodes.
One can write queries to target specific parametric entities with "Select" nodes. See documentation to learn more...
Two entries were added to global context menu in Nodes Editor: "Remove all nodes" and "Show or hide minimap". The minimap should help you to navigate more comfortably in large schemas.
A label can be applied to each node of type "Number".
One can use "Paint" node type to apply a material to groups, after a selection for example.
Node state is reflected by a color: red means it's invalid while green means it's selected.
To remove a node, you need to right click on it then select "Remove this node". No more double click...
One can access plugin documentation from Nodes Editor toolbar.
A shelf, a decking on pedestals and a wall fence with pillars are available in examples schemas. Thanks to Jack Tenrev and Simon Joubert for these schemas.
Materials referenced in parametric schema but not existing in model are substituted by random colors.
Layers/tags referenced in parametric schema but not existing in model are created.
Result of "Add" and "Subtract" nodes was corrected. It was incorrect in some cases.
Nodes Editor tooltips display also in old SketchUp versions such as 2017.
