    ...checked the file import specs for all three and it seems Bryce can directly import Sketchup .dae files without converting and export them as a .obj. Bryce's modelling tools however are not as extensive as either Hexagon's or Carrara's (only Boolean and fractal landscape modelling). The trick is getting the textures and Mat zones converted as well.

    My interest in this is because there are a number of RL structures in the Warehouse that would be most helpful for illustrating my story .

    ..ahh moot point, they changed the site since I was last there (and will be changing it again in June so it can only accessed it though Sketchup2015) , No more Collada downloads, everything is now in .skp format. Bugger..

    I have been wrestling with SketchUp export to DAZ too, but more with textures than geometry. One important thing I did discover, which I don't think has been mentioned yet, when doing an OBJ export from SketchUp Pro or via TIG's Object Exporter plugin, you need to apply your texture to both sides of each surface, I have not had much luck with just applying the texture to one side and leaving the reverse side as default. Hope this helps others!

    ...where have you been able to find ,objs in the Sketchup Warehouse?

    Everything I looked at that used to be either .dae or .obj has all apparently been converted to .skp. Even a few of the same ones I downloaded a while back.
