Import of vertex-colored Collada (.dae) models

Well, maybe, but only that which is compatible with SketchUp’s target core functionality.

Please read: SketchUp > Feature Requests: Vision and feature requests

There has been a new Collada revision since SketchUp’s importer and exporters were written.

We had discussed this (SketchUp’s DAE import / export handling) in another thread (in the my.sketchup category.)

See: MySketchUp should be able to open/edit/save and/or import/export COLLADA (dae) files


So for example, just because Collada has a bunch of nifty animation attributes, does not mean SketchUp must become an animation studio, because it has a DAE importer.


So, you need to make a valid “use case” for this vertex color data. Is it just for passing through ? Ie, DAE > SKP > some editing > DAE ?
