htimsnoiz Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Hi anyone im using chief premier 6x for mac, i tried to import sketchup models into my project (already exporting them into DAE. format first) but there are no textures, or more specifically there are textures just one big sold editable one. For example, i have a sofa with 3 editable textures, 1. Fabric cushions, 2. alumimium base, and 3. wooden struts. but when i edit one the whole model is just one solid texture. this is a real bumber, especially when detailing is essential. anyone please help with this.

KenL-sdd Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 It looks like you can not import .skp files. See http://www.chiefarchitect.com/products/sysreq.html. Not sure about dae file import. Maybe some one with a mac can tell you how to bring in the textures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzira Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Upload the .skp file to the thread. Someone will drop it into CA for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gawdzira Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Either zip the file for upload or upload to DropBox or similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htimsnoiz Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 hi the zip didnt work for the uplaoding either so i didi the drop box thing. Two simple model examples: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/uxpwrbi07k4c238/AABg8ByA-fdyNGEIm7_Z9XRHa?dl=0 Thank you so much to anyone who can figure this little problem out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htimsnoiz Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 Hi guys ok i got to get it working quiet well by exporting the sketchup model as an obj. file format. The thing is it does something very odd on the floorplan layout, it gives a side view of the object inside of a top view. any thought on this one.

simonas Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Importing 3d to mac is a problem with dwg also. If it's blocked it imports as one big solid with one texture to it. You need to explode it to 3d solids in autocad, move selected solids to different layers and save it. Struggle, but that's what we have at the moment...

plandoctor99 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I'm a new user of X6 (Mac). I have some luck with exporting models from SketchUp in .dae and then importing to CA. Two problems seem to be that whether or not it will work is iffy and it appears that I can't use SketchUp to do this at all unless I buy the Pro version. Can someone weigh in on this? I am happy to purchase the Pro version if I have some confidence that it will help me augment my library. I started off on this track because I was trying to find the heated towel rack that Scott used in his Sandstone Beam Bath. I also wanted to find the undermount lavs and the sharp looking wall tile. Right now I am 0/3 on those items. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Hi PD99 , the standard Windows (free) Sketchup lets you EXPORT 3D collada (.dae) files ( using save as only gives options of .skp versions other than current) . I am not sure if .dae files have a version number like .skp's do not sure what the options are if using Mac Sketchup if its not the same though.
