Import set of models from .dae (Collada) file
Hi all,
I found a kitchen library in the sketchup warehouse _ttps://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/71fa3db5-4bef-4891-b9a6-adbc9ab36d93/Kitchen-Cabinet-Set but when I import it into SweetHome it gets imported as a single model of a huge size.
Is there a way to import several models from a single .dae Collada file as separate models?

Re: Import set of models from .dae (Collada) file
1 - Install Sketchup
2 - Load file
3 - Delete all models, except one
4 - Export model
5 - Undo Delete
6 - Repeat steps 4-6

PROBLEM(s)
This procedure can be done ONLY with the SKP version of the file. Last free (as in zero-dollars) version of Sketchup is v2015. Oldest model version is 2016, which cannot be used used to open a newer file. Therefore you will have to use a paid version of Sketchup to do this. (The free online version doesn't allow exporting models)
