Working With Collada Download Files

Recently downloaded a model from the warehouse, as a collada file, imported it into Sketchup 2017 (Make).
In the past, the imported files appeared as “normal” models. I have uploaded the Make file and the .dae files here-

Is there a way to change the Sketchup setting to get the imported model to appear as a “normal” toilet?

Thanks in advance.

There aren’t any settings in the importer with SketchUp that would improve it. You could use the extension CleanUp 3 on it after importing it, and then soften and smooth edges to improve the appearance.

How are you using this thing in your model? At over 26 Mb for just the toilet, it seems like this is overly detailed unless the toilet is all there is to the “story”.

Hi Dave! Hope you are doing well!
I was just playing around with an idea for a bathroom remodel and downloaded the model as it looked like one similar to what we already have.
Thanks for the tip on the Cleanup extension. I’ll give it a try to see what it looks like and I’ll look for a more suitable sized model, too.
I can always count on you to help me learn more about Sketchup! Hope you and your family have a wonderful Holiday season!!

Hi Lew,

I’m still on the green side of the sod. :wink:

Understood on the toilet. My suggestion would be to look for a lower poly component to use in your bathroom. You don’t want to spend all your time cleaning the toilet, do you? :slight_smile:

Happy if I helped you learn something.

I hope you and your family have a great holiday season, too.

Closing the lid would allow everything inside to be deleted. And everyone who has read about aerosols always closes it :grinning:

Actually, cleaning the toilet is my job here. Something I learned in Navy Boot Camp and am “forced” to continue using!

I have 2017 Make, about a year ago I downloaded Eneroth Open Newer Version, and have had no problems like I did with the collada files.

Thank You! Worked perfectly for me. I used the “Eneroth Open Newer Version” I’ll have to try the “Legacy” version, also
