[Opensim-users] Struggling with 3D modelling in OpenSim :-(

[Han Xu]

Thanks Vanish & Peter!

I'm using Google SketchUp and find it easy to use. Also there is a huge 3D
Warehouse available. When I import 3D object into SketchUp, it turns out to
be OK. But when I try to export from SketchUp (via COLLADA format) and then
import into OpenSim, it doesn't look that way in SketchUp. Instead the 3D
object looks in a mess. Anybody know where I missed?

Thanks!

Cheers,
Han
