The reason I'm asking is, in the double building file, there are lots of faces composed of more than three vertices. In fact, most of the faces are composed of more than 3 vertices. Post by frootee // Mar 11, 2009, 8:30am frootee Total Posts: 2667 This is the problem I am running into; the triangulate function is a PRO only function apparently. But I am getting some issues with triangle counts: from this website: http://sketchup.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=114389 Triangulation errors SketchUp will export one face entity as one polygon in an OBJ file. This ratio of faces to polygons can create some problems for some OBJ importers (polygons might appear missing or reversed). Use the Triangulate faces option to create additional polygons for importers that seem to have problems with the OBJ file exported from SketchUp. Additionally, you can import the OBJ file into an application that does not have problems with the SketchUp faces-to-polygons ratio and then export that file as another file type to be used in the less-qualified application Post by RAYMAN // Mar 11, 2009, 8:31am RAYMAN Total Posts: 1496 I posted the triangulate all file in the last post as you can see ! HTH ! Peter Post by jamesmc // Mar 11, 2009, 8:33am jamesmc Total Posts: 2566 For those that may not know, the sketchup files are just a zip compressed file. At least they were in version 4, haven't tried it on more recent versions. The first screen shot shows the extracted files (I used 7-zip and extract here option) The second screen shot shows the DAE file format in the models folder. :) As a bonus in the texture folder, on can retrieve the texture tile. All along, you thought it was a special unique format and it hid a DAE compliant 3D file. heh heh Edit: Disregard the other files shown, the two folders are the extracted files. :) Post by RAYMAN // Mar 11, 2009, 8:38am RAYMAN Total Posts: 1496 James that was what my long threads about Sketchup and Truespace was about !;) Jim B introduced us to that possibility ! http://forums1.caligari.com/truespace/showthread.php?t=5672&highlight=sketchup Post by TomG // Mar 11, 2009, 8:40am TomG Total Posts: 3397 Didnt work for me with an SKP that I have (the trick about it being just a zip) :( The file I have comes from SketchUp Pro. Any thoughts? Tom EDIT - ah you cant do it from SKP format, you do it by export to KMZ then you can treat that as the zip. Post by RAYMAN // Mar 11, 2009, 8:47am RAYMAN Total Posts: 1496 Tom 1 if you have sketchup pro you dont need it because youve got very good exporters and 2. ) its not the SKP file its google earth file 4 thats a zipped collada folder. You just rename it to file. zip and then unzip and what you get is a Collada dae. andthe textures in a nother folder plus a script file.. See the thread about it and the link from JimB... HTH !
