Blender 4.2: How to import SketchUp 2024 (SKP) files?

[@nathanaelcard]

Amazing. Love to see Blender getting more feasible for architecture and landscape design

[@seigyokuprincess]

Doesn't work for me unfortunately. The add-on installs, but the box isn't able to be ticked. The error message says something about a "circular import". No idea what that means... :(

Thank you, finally it works !

[@AntonioFigurella]

a me non funziona. Blender 4.2.1

Thank you very much . I noted one small issue with your import, the driveway texture + the lawn texture in square in front of fence doesn't seem to have been imported. Is this due to blender only importing certain formats file extensions ? Could you have a look and see which image files fail ? Are they .bmp .png.jpg? Again thank you. -- I'm planning on installing Blender sometime soon as it looks like a very good program for animation and modelling I've been using Sketchup Maya + TM Twinmotion to create small animations and would like a more professional look . possibly moving onto either Blender+ after effects or unreal engine I have some animations on my KZbin channel all models are Sketchup rendered in Twinmotion

This worked very well for me. Thank you. Somehow I can't open imported fbx. and collada formats from Sketchup in Blender. Obj. works fine, but it doesn't preserves hierarchy. Not sure if other people have experienced issues with exporting fbx. to Blender. Blender shows an error message when I am trying to open the fbx file - ( ASCII FBX files are not supported )and with the collada file, it just goes forever to download and I eventually have to"end the task" in the task manager. If anyone experiences the same or found a solution, please let me know.

Muchas gracias por la información :D

Is there a way to synchronize a model already imported to Blender? assuming Sketchup model has changes

[@blender3darchitect]

Unfortunately no. Since it is a different type of data, you need to manually import the new versions to Blender.

That add-on cannot run on Blender 4.0.2, so i must reinstall Blender 3.6 LTS to use it. Blender 4 edition series are too bad. Thanks for your video, its great!!!

[@FernandoFigaroli]

In the video he uses 4.2.0. Have you tried with that version?

[@DoiGiayBay]

@@FernandoFigaroli sorry, i means 4.2.0

[@evelynvictoria6332]

@@FernandoFigaroli The add-on is installed, but blender won't let you import it. Keeps giving error

[@blender3darchitect]

Try to disable the materials from the Add-on options. For some reason, a few projects crash Blender with certain SketchUp materials.
