Importing Sketchup into X6

I found a creation in Sketchup that I want to import into my plan. When I go to "Import 3D Symbol", it does not show .skp as a supported file type.  I'm using X6 for Mac. Looking at the forum, it appears that importing sketch up models has been supported, at least previously.  Am i missing something? Or am I impacted by a Mac thing, i.e. this function not supported by the Mac version of Chief X6.

 

Appreciate any enlightenment or guidance.

Sketchup does not provide an API we can use on the MAC. It's unfortunate but since .SKP format is not an open standard we must rely on the provided API which does not lend itself to 64 bit. We are supporting collada which is an open format. You may be able to convert to that format or find files in that format instead.

I have imported skip and dae files from Sketchup. I have also exported dae files back into sketchup to export them again to dae files to import into my animation software. The collida exporting directly from chief does not export correctly??? I have posted in the support section.
