Importing Sketchup file into Vectorworks... Nothing happens


thornm

Question

I am trying to import a Sketchup file into Vectorworks 2016.  When I use "Import Sketchup File" and click on the chosen file, nothing happens.  The Sketchup settings window doesn't open, and nothing imports.  There isn't an error message, just nothing.  The file window closes and I return to my Vectorworks screen.

Here's what I've tried so far:

-Restarted Vectorworks

-Loaded in a new OS (I was using El Capitan.  I updated to Sierra)

-Saving Sketchup file to Desktop and trying to import from there

-Backsaving Sketchup file to Sketchup 8, and saving that to Desktop

 

All of this has resulted in no change.  When I try to import, nothing happens. Is there a Vectorworks setting I'm missing that's blocking the import?  

Any advice would be much appreciated.  Unfortunately the scenic designer I'm working with only uses Sketchup, and I only use Vectorworks.

I attached the offending Sketchup file.

What worked for me was: I created a new folder at the program folder (C:\Program Files\Vectorworks2016), with the name SketchUp Models. I placed the model that I wanted to import to vectorworks in that folder and then import the file to vectorworks from there. 

And Boom ... Worked Everytime.

 

Hope this helps you guys.
