ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

The last line of the error, specifically the "%1" looks like some internal argument was not substituted in for that command line argument placeholder. Does anyone else have this problem? I'm using Vista and this happens whether I run as administrator or not.

Okay, if you import into Sketchup or use one of its 'components'/3Dwarehouse objects, the objects appears as a grouped 'component'. You'll know that, as it shows up with a bounding box around the whole mesh when selected. When you then right click onto it with the selection tool or go to 'Edit > Component' from the main menu, you should see 'Explode' as an option. That may then break it down into smaller 'components', so repeat until the 'Explode' option becomes unavailable. Of course, if you can't see it now, perhaps you've already got a simple mesh.

Also, make sure you've only single clicked the object to begin with, as a double click opens the object for editing + the you won't be able to 'Explode' the object until you stop editing inside the component.

The next step is to hide the edges as described here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZH2pqZLbrz8

Give me a shout if you're still stuck!

i've select what i've import, and then also the right click but where to choose the 'explode' tools?
really need your advise on this matter. thanx a lot sorbus! ;)

The minor version of the file you are using is newer than the plug-in, so errors
may occur.
scene.link(ob) deprecated!
use scene.objects.link(ob) instead

anyone can figure out this please?

thanks for the help given

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!

how do I fix this so that I can see the model? I tried to right click and explode but I did not see the option to explode anything.
