Problem when importing dae files from Google 3d Warehouse

Hi

I’ve downloaded some models from 3d google warehouse in the past (in dae format). Sometimes they open fine, however sometimes when I open them in blender it just appears to be a lot of scattered empties.

Does anyone else have a similar problem and if so could you offer any advice on why it does it?

Thanks in advance.


Example file etc ?

Hi

I’m using Blender 2.78 but I think its done it on earlier versions too.

I’m sorry but it won’t seem to let me upload the file as attachment, however here’s the link to it on 3d warehouse if it helps

thanks for looking

Some models are just screwed up. Even meshlab and Maya balk at opening them.

Try other models until you find one that works.

As Richard has said, take the Sketchup Importer and download the SketchUp 2016 Model (the 2017 Model does not work)


Thanks guys:)
