Amazing. Love to see Blender getting more feasible for architecture and landscape design

Doesn't work for me unfortunately. The add-on installs, but the box isn't able to be ticked. The error message says something about a "circular import". No idea what that means... :(

Thank you very much .
I noted one small issue with your import, the driveway texture + the lawn texture in square in front of fence doesn't seem to have been imported.
Is this due to blender only importing certain formats file extensions ?
Could you have a look and see which image files fail ? Are they .bmp .png.jpg?
Again thank you.

I'm planning on installing Blender sometime soon as it looks like a very good program for animation and modelling
I've been using Sketchup Maya + TM Twinmotion to create small animations and would like a more professional look .
possibly moving onto either Blender+ after effects or unreal engine
I have some animations on my Youtube channel all models are Sketchup rendered in Twinmotion

That add-on cannot run on Blender 4.0.2, so i must reinstall Blender 3.6 LTS to use it. Blender 4 edition series are too bad. Thanks for your video, its great!!!

Is there a way to synchronize a model already imported to Blender? assuming Sketchup model has changes
