amddrafting Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I've had issues with this in the past and am wondering if anyone has ever had luck with this situation. If you have any arched (rounded) door or window the door or window will be deleted from the model when imported to sketchup from a .3ds file. If you export to .dae file it will have an error pop up that says "import failed" and doesn't import at all. The only way I have found it to work is to export to .DWG, but the textures don't export that way. So I have to open a new file, copy the wall with the arched window and door. Export those to .dwg and them import them into sketchup, delete the walls leaving only the window / door and then move it into the model of the house where it was left out. Obviously this is ridiculously tedious and completely ridiculous. Am I missing something, can someone verify this, if so can we get this fixed please?

MarkMc Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Tried in both, managed to import it (using V8). DAE was cleaner than 3ds. Was going to filter it throught TurboCad to convert which I do sometimes but didn't have to. PTP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amddrafting Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 v8 in Sketchup? Interesting this is what happens when I import arched windows, you'll see even the casing doesn't import. The casing over the garage was a molding polyline so it stayed but you'll see that the window and sill are gone. This is Sketchup 2017 been happening to me since 2014 version. Imports fine in Lumion BTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I mainly use .3ds to export to Sketchfab and have never had any problems what so ever. When I dabbled with Lumion I got best results using .dae files. In short I cannot verify any problems with arched windows, doors when exporting such files. You should be able to turn off the 3D face vertices that I am seeing in your screen shot, they are certainly unwanted visuals. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amddrafting Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 Here are two versions of this house. Will someone please try and import them into Sketchup and see if the arched windows import. If they do then I know it's an issue on my end with sketchup, if they don't then it must be something in CA that's causing the problem.

Greg_NY61 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I couldn't open DAE file with SketchUp but 3ds it shows the door with the arched top but not the windows. Post your CA plan, so I can export the model both formats and test it. It looks like your model is missing lots of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amddrafting Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 here you go. I already finished the render which I'm attaching but I'm still dealing with this issue for all of my other models. Really would like to get it resolved it's a time killer. Artistry Parade Home Render Model.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
