Unable to load Sketchup Model into IES via plugin

Post by stanley1989 »

Hi all.

I am having some issues to load the Sketchup Model into IES via the sketchup plug-in.

Loading process takes a long time (~1 day) and but no files seem to be created.

Sketchup file size is ~2mb. Modeled file is a hotel with 31 levels.

• Computer Specs
o IES 2013
o Win 7 Pro, 64bit, i7
o 12GB Ram
• Sketchup 8

here's a screenshot of the error message I am getting while attempting to load.

anyone has any idea of how to go about reectifying this process? Should i be looking at modifying the sketchup file size?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi,

Maybe try exporting just a few levels at a time. The plugin should run much quicker.

Bigger models tend to export better when broken down.
