FBX LINK from SKETCHUP to 3dSM 2015

[Larissa Holderness]

Having an issue with an FBX exported from SketchUp to 3D Studio Max 2015. When I attempt to link the FBX, I am only getting part of the model. If I import the model, the entire model comes in. We are still making changes to the model (hence the use of the FBX), and cannot import the model until it is finished. Has anyone had similar issues?

 

Thanks!

I've had issues with the unit scaling from skp>fbx but not yet with part of the model not exporting. I usually import the skp file directly and avoid major material mapping in max if the skp is not final.

I will take a wild guess. Are you using components in your SU model? I have had problems with missing meshes of components when exporting out of SU and into Blender as a .dae file.

Try using the FBX exporter by Simlab. I think they give you a 15 use demo. That might help.

Thank you for your replies. There are a lot of components in the SKP. Will try exploding them all before exporting an FBX.

Will also try the Simlab.

Groups seem to export okay for me just not components.
