Hi

I have been trying to import .dae files from models found in Google's 3d warehouse into Blender using the Collada 1.4 importer without success. I believe these files should be in a format the Collada importer for Blender should be able to handle.

I am using v 2.45 of Blender in WinXP.

I have tried
- the Collada zip file from
[sketchup.google.com]

- and both the Google Earth 4 .kmz and Collada .zip file from
[sketchup.google.com]

Each time I get the error message
"FEEDBACK: Illusoft Collada 1.4 Plugin v0.3.159 started
The minor version of the file you are using is newer then the plug-in, so errors
may occur.
scene.link(ob) deprecated!
use scene.objects.link(ob) instead
FEEDBACK: FINISHED - time elapsed: 1476.9"
in the Blender console.

Am I doing anything wrong?

Hi,
I have the same problem with a model I've exported from DAZ Studio.

I think this thing is not a problem, this comes from blender:

scene.link(ob) deprecated!
use scene.objects.link(ob) instead

But furthermore I get the following:

---------------

The Collada - File is Version 1.4.1, looks like between 1.4. and 1.4.1 something
changed the script does not like.

Does anybody know what those changes are?
