SketchUp version issue

in Contributed Library Questions • 1 year ago

Hi, All
I tried to apply this library at http://www.die-seite.ch/?colladaloader with my own exported dae or kmz from SketchUp 8 Pro, all end of getting error messages; for dae, Processing sends the Sketchup version issue ( it seems to requires Google SketchUp 8.0.3117, mine is 8.0.14346 ) I mean does that matter ?

None of the dae or kmz I try to import works yet, Processing always sends a yellow bookmark or Exception. only the supplied models in the library has no issue to run. And I notice that samples are exported from older SketchUp version dated 2010, the xml-file is different a bit, do I have to try to download an older SketchUp 8 to run this library ?

Also could any German speaking member tells me what the functions are in the author's page http://www.die-seite.ch/?colladaloader. The author says the exported object can't be grouped, but the example of the truck is grouped if you import into SketchUp. I am confused.

Help is appreciated.

I kind of find the solution, you need to apply this library instead which support newer SketchUp,

https://github.com/Pro/processing-collada-loader

I can see my exported kmz objects with texture ( though still need to solve the texture issue, but it is better than nada)

But dae is blank except the sample truck, which can be viewed. mine are always blank. will figure out the solution too. But I think it is still the SketchUp version problem so the view is blank.

Thanks for reading, hope this experience helps to other having similar problem I had.

cheers

Hi,
The dae issue is also finally solved, simply download the older build of SketchUp 8.0.3117.
straightforward and simple to solve, search the internet to get this version, then its exported dae will keep the xml-file structure compatible with the library's requirement, so object and texture are all there in Processing.

But you have to uninstall the newer version otherwise SketchUp won't let you install the old one, just a tip.

Cheers
