Importer for Sketchup 6-2015
I made this importer based to the official Sketchup API/SDK, This makes it work really well as file format compatibility is great as you would expect. This is also the greatest weakness in that this is incompatible with the GPL.
Added sketchup 2016 and blender 2.77 support
Supports:
- Components
- Groups
- Meshes
- Materials ( to cycles only)
- Cameras
- UV coordinates, including correct STQ to UV and scales
- Setting up viewport transparency for objects that have transparent materials
- Reusing existing materials by name ( the script does not import materials if they already exist in the scene, this to facilitate reimporting / rendering work-flows )
- Use dupli vert / face for cases where very many instances need to be imported
- Skip UV importing if object has no materials with textures
- Import all cameraās
- Honor āhiddenā flag
- Importing Scenes ( you have to know the scene name )
Todo:
- Import ortho cameras
- import sun with position / rotation
- map sketchup layers onto blender layers
- Fix dupli verts mode. ( not a priority as dupli face mode is superior)
Cannot be done:
- Linux support ( the libraries used are only released for Windows and OS X)
Known issues:
- Current render engine is set to cycles by importer
- This is not GPL compatible and cannot ever be distributed together with blender.
- if current camera is ortho script fails
