Hi Everyone, I am trying to export a model from Sketchup 2024 - which seems on SK whole and great, while exporting and importing into Blender, Im getting tons of missing Faces,  
And I don’t know why, I tried to go both FBX. OBJ. and even a Data Smith, nothing seems to work, and it has been breaking my mind for a while now,

Do you have any ideas on how to resolve this?  
Many Thanks

Are all the faces correctly oriented in the SketchUp model?

What version of SketchUp are you _really_ using? There is no “Free Plan” 2024 as you put in your forum profile. Maybe a cracked version?

It’s actually a 7-day trial and it’s not the Free Plan.

Set the face style to Monochrome so you can see the back face color.
