Re: [away3d] Re: Loading Collada (Sketchup) models with Away3D Lite

Collada files can actually vary dramatically in terms of format. That'swhy, for example, I cannot actually load Collada files exported directlyfrom Maya, but I can use Collada files which are exported using theOpenCollada plugin for Maya. Importing SketchUp files didn't work for mein the past, which is ultimately what led me to switch over to Maya,because that's when things actually started to work for me. Definitely notcheap, though! If you have a Pro version of SketchUp, you may considertrying another format, like MD2
