It's not working at all.

BTW it seems that a cmd window blinks for a fraction of a second and does nothing.

Thanks for your patience. I just want to make sure you gave tried version 15.4 which I uploaded last evening and which fixed a similar problem kaas had?

Yes - the newest version. Feel free to ask more questions. I'd be glad to see the plugin working. For now I stick with TIG's obj importer.

It would help if you could try to import the file while the Ruby Console window is open, and then post any errors here.

Mesh Importer Result:
D:...\stone.obj.skp was not created.

When I choose - any file - and select obj nothing happens.

Windows or Mac? What version? 32 or 64 bit?

win 7 64bit.

Could you add obj import - this is one of the most important format.

If you select Any File Type in the File Selection dialog, you will be able to select .obj files and import them. Textures are not supported, though. Right now I am just trying to figure out how to make it work on different operating systems and versions.

Thank you very much.

I am new to SF. I just did a simulation and wanted to select a box. Once I pressed the spacebar entire state was reset as before the simulation. How to stop the simulation and edit the items, move them manually, etc? Spacebar is resetting the simulation.

Am I missing something?

TIG,
my fault. I tested it on a group instead of a component. It works like a charm.

Help Rafa! - please make it work under 2014.

I am not talking about multithreading for saving files.

SKP format files that are above 100-200mb are saved within dozens of seconds - this is the problem.

Why there is no multithreading?
Why there is no support for alembic files?
Why Sketchup is so slow in terms of saving large files?
Why there is no support for fast import of obj files?

Turning off 'Redefine thumbnails on save' reduces saving time to 20-30 seconds which is still huge, compared to a fraction of a second in 3ds max or in zbrush ,or modo.

200MB file + ctrl S = nightmare for about 1 minute!

TRIMBLE please do something with this terrible time of saving SKP files and introduce multithreading - all major players have it done but Sketchup.

Sketchup is great but can be fast.

It is possible to have different textures on the same UV of a component! And you can move, scale, rotate these textures independently on each component/instance.

Just use Octane render. TIG helped in the development of exporting plugin and here is my topic on Octane forum how to use instancing and Sketchup.

Is there any news about alembic support for animated scene transitions in SU?
Octane just introduced beta version 1.21 that supports scenes in alembic file format (.abc) for animations rendering (Maya supports this).

I am just curious if Trimble plans to introduce alembic file support.

Billions, trillions,... using Octane and instancing.

SAVING LARGE FILES IS SO SLOW!!!

I have a 150MB file (about 25m edges). When I hit ctrl+s it takes about 1 minute to save to file. I created a ram disk so speed up the saving process. The time was reduced to 25 seconds. But still IMO this is irritating. 25 seconds? I converted the model to 3ds max format and checked how fast it is saved under 3ds max. Ctrl+S and ... it's done. Not even a second.

SU TEAM please do something with speeding up the saving process.

Works like a charm!
