I don't know if this is the official main forum for l4d mappers...It seems way 'too' quiet....

However, I installed today sketchup and tried to use the plugin in hammer tools. Plugin correctly installed, sketchup works fine alone....but then I export in .vmf and sometimes it says:

- Exporter warning: there do not appear to be any valid groups or components

Sometimes it says:

- group those guys! (like faces not linked...i don't know, i never used sketchup)

And if the export goes well without errors, then I open the .vmf in hammer editor, and ALWAYS there is ONE of these two errors:

- too many solid (i click OK and the editor goes crash)
- some solids have not been rendered (i click ok and all what i found is a cube and a spawn point, sometimes some other solids....but NEVER something similar to the object i exported).


I've been trying half an hour, I have downloaded tens of models from google, from the most simple (a plasma TV) to one quite complicated (a ferrari) but always the same errors, it doesn't depend on how simple is the model. I didn't even get a TABLE from a sketchup model....hammer doesn't eat them. So what is useful in this plugin?
