SketchUp 2024, Lumion 11.5

Hello everyone,

I use Lumion 11.5 in the office to render our SketchUp models.

Normally, textures from SketchUp are transferred wonderfully and you can adjust a lot of things very well with a few settings. Recently, however, Lumion has been “shooting up” many textures so that they are no longer usable. Do you have the same problem?

I suspect that it is due to SketchUp 2024 or the combination of the new SketchUp and the “old” Lumion version. Can this be solved somehow?

Many of the textures we use are not available in Lumion; I can use my own textures, but I can no longer rotate them.

Many thanks for tips

Im having the same problems with 12.5 and yes its because the older versions are no longer supported. I can get around some of the issues with importing the texture into Lumion but sometimes the sizing still isn’t right and it is a faf.

I also cannot rotate textures and any Jpegs I have in SketchUp all come out as black and white in Lumion.

Not a solution sorry, but I sympathise.

I just found a Solution, There’s a Plugin that allow you to save 2024 Sketchup files to Older version. You can save V6 with this. Awesome tool.

Here’s the Article
Dezmo save to older sketchup

Or you can Download the Plugin directly from Here

I’m really concerned about Trimble choices. It’s been over-talked about but choosing to remove the possibility to save to previous versions was already a mistake, what was the point ? Did they think it was going to force people to apply for a subscription ? I’m sorry but it’s quite the opposite, they’re just killing the software.
I wouldn’t mind so much if the latest version was running fine but seeing people having to find workarounds (on their own ! ) to be able to work, just work ! What worse choice could be made ? You just shoot yourself in the foot

I’ve never had so many issues than the past two years working with different renderers along sketchup, it’s time to se retirer les doigts du cul like we say in french, it’s enough !

I feel like I live in idiocracy

It really does seem to fly in the face of an industry of Sketchup users who have been using it for years, or decades, and aren’t all using the same version. It’s disruptive at best, and I highly doubt it converts into more money.
