How did you import that OBJ file to sketchup without transmuter? The first time you do it at 2:26? Sketchup won't even let me do that. I'm on a Mac. Does that make a difference? It's just greyed out in the finder.

Transmutr is awesome, I haven't regretted purchasing it at all. I don't have much use for the proxy system but its very cool! The main use I have is simplifying 3D warehouse mesh or importing poliigon models.

gr8 video. one question related to usdz extension to import/export on sketchup. any way to do this?

[rbxfablab]

Well, I just bought this extension and cannot find how to access it within Sketchup? It's listed in my extension Manager, so it's loaded (as an unsigned extension) but nowhere in the SU interface is there a link to open it as you just gloss over that point in your video? I'm on a MacBook Pro w/Monterrey 12...

How can I change the object, with top or side view in Mac? Only approach/distance works for me. Thanks

How do you get a chair there without black things to show up. I have watched 100 yt videos. I do not get it. I am very bad to understand yt videos and how people explain. How did u get a perfect chair. I tried to download a tree. It looks black

[federicoduarte]

I want to bring obj or Dare from blender to sketch up to use the augmented Reality on iPad pro. But when I tried to export dAe or obj file to sketch up doesn't export with the textures or colors. This helps for that export kind of files? Thanks.

[kacamers]

[MurderHoboRPG]
