yeah, but only if you have milkshape3D, export your sketchup model as an obj, import it into MS3D, scale it down, re-UV, and export.

Also get the .dae of your model, put it in Blender, export as VRML97, then convert to .msh through the MSH Viewer.

Take that file, rename it to a .zip. Extract the contents, and inside you'll find the .dae.

These have nothing do do with one another.

These do.

What I'm trying to say is that the common problem is you. You'll need to explain what you did to help us fix your problem.

i did the .zip thing. and i downloaded a .obj plug-in. but, from what i've gathered, blender runs off python, which i can't run. ( i'm almost infamous due to my python woes on another forum ;)

but i drop the obj. plug-in into the plugins folder, nothing happens in sketchup.
