Gwyn Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Hi I just got latest updated version installed - I don't see SKP import? I understood that this was going to be improved in the latest version -but now I don't see the option at all? has it moved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkcn Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 We were never able to import SKP objects. We tried different FZ versions (8, 9, Free and Pro) on different computers (Windows10). We checked the extension manager; the sketchup translator plugin is on. When we try import a .skp file, the screen remains blank and nothing happens. Any idea?

ZTEK Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) I just checked and I don't have any problem to import an SKP file of a little apartment building with 8 floors and 12 units… but, I work on MacOS 10.13.6.

Gwyn Posted May 4, 2020 Author Share Posted May 4, 2020 HI here is screen shot - as you can see 8.6 imported SKP files whilst Version 9 doesn't have this option. From the message from ZTEK it seems Mac version allows this. That is strange - perhaps Z support can give some guidance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwyn Posted May 4, 2020 Author Share Posted May 4, 2020 Actually I see on the main page of Z it says this is possible so must be something I'm missing here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¢hris £und Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Gwyn, Check your Extensions manager, that the SketchUp extension is there and checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkcn Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 We have checked the extensions manager and the SKP file translator is on... We had allways the same problem with the previous versions of FMZ; is it a Windows 10 configuration issue (ie: virus detection, firewall...)?

pkcn Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 (edited) It is even not recorded in "import recent" Edited May 6, 2020 by pkcn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jldaureil Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 can you share the link to download the .skp file (2019) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkcn Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 This is file downloaded from 3D Warehouse, in 2019 .skp format we are not able to open, but all our .skp files since 2016 dont work. They worked on FZ 6 and 7, I beleive. We have no problem with .3ds, .dwg or .obj files Aalto_Stool.skp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZTEK Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Just to confirm, again I had no problem in MacOS with FZ 9.03, it took less than a second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwyn Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 update: I rebooted computer - and now the sketchup file translator is on in the manager and the pull down menu shown before now properly shows SKP as option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
