Home ? Importing Assets ? Windows 8 Import problem

Posts: 3 		Hi,

I'm trying to import files from Sketchup, which I have placed on a folder called in C://Documents/Folder A, when I go to import the file from Muvizo it tells me that it cant find the file but it's looking in a new folder within A, called B. The name of the file has also been changed from 'Cat' to 'Cat_X'.

Basically it seems to be changing the name of the folder, and creating a new folder within the original location.

I am using Windows 8 so I'm wondering if that's causing the issue.

Advice appreciated.

thanks

I think I have.

It all seems to go well until I get to the import into Muvizo, from Create Character, Import, I can browse to the .ase file, click on OK and then I get the message that the file can't be found. Which is weird considering it let me browse to it.

I've noticed that the .skp file is 193kb, but the .ase file is 0.


So looks like somethings gone wrong in the conversion.

Depending on what exporter you are using in Sketchup you may need to select the object you want to export before doing the export, other exporters either don't like groups or components so you might need to explode everything for it to be picked up.
