Problems with Sketchup.

[Armos]

Hey there, I just made a custom map for the Debug ROM and I wanted to test somethings with it and I'm having trouble with Sketchup. It wont allow me to turn the map into a .obj file. I did everything I know and its giving me some problems. It wont give me an option to change the file into a .obj. Here is what I'm working on so far. Merely for testing stuff. I'm running a free version of Sketchup 8 and I don't know if the free trial wont let you export it into a 3D Model it's self or if it wont let me do anything at all, I never had problems with Sketchup before. If anyone knows anything I would appreciate it.

You need a plugin to export as OBJ. Try googling "TIG's OBJ Exporter".

I tried that Jason, downloaded the OBJ Exporter. And it turned it into some kind of file, then renamed it to .obj and it changed it to .obj but the main problem is I'm having a problem getting the model to load into Sharp Ocarina. Hope I'm not causing any issues here. Just wondering if I can fix some problems. Thanks.

You have to triangulate the faces of your model (aka, connecting all the corners with eachother so that there are triangles visible), and group them.
