Get from 3d warehouse->Explode->Export->Import ZIP, de nada. Just an empty scene. Didn't run blender form command line so I don't have the console output. I actually just want to get the 3d warehouse stuff, so if anybody knows a way to put that into blender without the sketchup step that would be stone cold! Yeah, I get that too.

That will convert the grouped polys into a simple mesh. Exporting will then work fine after that. The same goes for instanced objects and components. Sorbus Hi Dave,

It works great on the Mac too! I used to have an 8 hour trial of Sketchup Pro just to *ahem* try the export features from my Google Sketchup files, but not any more ;) Here's one step you need to add though, to stop Sketchup exporting faces AND an extra set of edges... http://sketchup.google.com/3dbuildviewer.html#id=8 Sorbus :) Hey Alexv,

Has anyone tried this successfully. Do you treat the component in a special way? Whenever I try this method, the instanced objects such as windows, shrubs etc do not appear in my scene.
