One Click Sketchup to CE2 exporter

Please Note:

Incompatible versions of 3rd party tools:

If you have
- ColladaCGF newer than version 0.3.5
- PyFFI newer that version 1.2.2

Please uninstall them!

(the plugin will automatically install the right ones)


Plugin supports Sketchup 6xxx, 7.0.xxx but NOT 7.1.xxx!

Here you get older Versions than 7.1:

Textures and Materials have to be edited manually in SB2 after export!


Download latest version 0.1.5 (15mb)


Installation:

Extract all files to your Sketchup Plugin folder
(for example: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp 6\Plugins" )

Start Sketchup, now the plugin will guide you through the rest of the installation process.



3rd party tools are now bundled...



...and will automatically be installed if needed:



Then you will be asked to set up the exporter:
(default settings should be fine for most of you)



You can change these settings at any time by opening
'Plugins/Change CE2 export settings' in the menu

Updating:

Replace all files in your Sketchup Plugin folder with the ones in the .zip



Usage:

- open "Plugins/Export to CE2" in the Sketchup menu



- set a filename for your .cfg
- choose a subdir of "game/objects" (e.g. "library/architecture" )
- choose wether to export material (and overwrite the old one)
- choose wether to convert components to groups
(ColladaCGF can't handle components)
- press OK (after a short while it will have finished exporting, promting you with "Done!" )

Now you should already find your exported asset in Sandbox2!

Enjoy and thank you for testing!
I appreciate your bug reports, suggestions and feedback!

DOWNLOAD LINK ADDED

see first post!

whenever i export with this plugin it puts the folders in the right place and everything is fine and dandy except it doesnt convert or even create the .cgf of my model. any suggestions as to what is going wrong or what i need to do? i have everything downloaded and placed in the proper folders and whatnot . . .

Can you please look in this folder:

C:/Temp/CE2Exporter

and tell me what you find there.

Also, which Sketchup Version are you using?

ok so thats where the models as .dae are located.. im using sketchup version 7.1

So there are .kmz and .dae but no .cgf's?

My plugin doesn't support Sketchup 7 yet, so no wonders.

correct. ah ok, i read it was only tested with 6 so i thought id give it a try. still a very useful and time saving tool, thanks for creating it!

I will try to add Sketchup 7 support asap.
Thanks for trying it!
