Installation

  1. Be sure to have SketchUp 2017 or newer.
  2. Download latest Universal Importer plugin from the SketchUcation PluginStore.
  3. Install plugin following this guide.

Now, you should have in SketchUp an "Universal Importer" submenu in "Extensions" menu and an "Universal Importer" toolbar.

Troubleshooting

I get an error when I import a model on Windows.

(Re)install Microsoft Visual C++ library then restart Windows.

Model was imported but textures are missing.

Enable "Claim Missing Textures" option in "Extensions > Universal Importer" menu then import model again.

My problem isn't resolved or isn't listed above.

Report a bug on official Universal Importer forum thread at SketchUcation or here at GitHub on Issues page.

Thanks
