- This is a basic importer for .obj files.
- It works sometimes, but not all the time.
- The .obj needs to be fairly well formed.
- It does not support textures.
- SketchUp is unusable during import.
- larger files can take a long time.
obj_importer.rb
There are 2 options: Import and Import as Mesh
- Import reads the file and creates faces one by one.
- As Mesh allocates a Mesh object, and creates smoothed edges. It can be slightly faster.

Hey, to anyone who can assist a new guy to sketchup 7.
ReplyDeleteI want to d-load new textures to my materials menu but having trouble... I'm on a Mac G4. thanks D
The Link to the obj_importer.rb is not working. at least google chrome can't find the destination.
ReplyDeleteThe program just freezes when I try to use this plug-in. I am using Sketchup 8.
ReplyDelete@Elizabeth SketchUp can be very slow. Depending on the size other important and the speed of your computer, the importance could take anywhere from minutes to hours.
