I have been having this problem recently. This file was originally created in vector works and exported as an obj. I converted it using transmuter and everything seemed good but there are a few groups I can not select. They show up in sketchup but don’t show up in Twinmotion.
I thought that maybe it was the grouping so I exploded everything and it still didn’t work. I updated to 2024 SU and that did not work either. reboot and restart and problem still there.
I am on a Mac, M3 max with 128gb ram on sonoma 14.1
Got it. The rounded edge and window frame highlighted in the image I attached are what I can’t select and thats what is not showing up in Twinmotion but it is showing up in your Twinmotion model and you have them both selected so I am thinking you aren’t having issues selecting it. I still am, however, and have no idea why
Probably the way the objects and geometry are grouped creates selection problems for you. Try with View > Component Edit > Hide Rest of Model and look in Outliner to see the nested groups.
Just tried that but I can’t click with of those items so it doesn’t do me much good unfortunately.
I also have Asus ROG STRIX 18" laptop that I opened the model on and it doesn’t work there either so now I am very curious how you are able to select those groups on your computer but I can’t on mine.
Thank you for your help on this. Will you send a link to the model back to me? I am interested to see if by going through your comp somehow fixed it or if I still can’t click it
There’s weird scaling of groups in your model. I expect that has a lot to do with this issue. I can’t select the curved surface object at the top of the superstructure either. I don’t know whether this is due to the Vectorworks exporter or Transmutr. Can you export a different file type from Vectorworks to import into SketchUp?
There’s also a lot of unneeded triangulation in the model that could stand to be removed.
This reduced file size by more than half.
Dude! I think you nailed it.
So, most of the time, when I convert a file, it comes in with a mess of geometry
BUT the interesting part is the scaling. It doesn’t always hold the scaling and in this case the boat was like 1,700’ long so I used the ol’ opt+measurement tool to scale to the correct size. I just opened the file before scaling the model and I can select the items so I think I need to regroup and scale down differently.
Still would love to know how the other guys were able to open without issues,
