[Opensim-users] Collada importing snags

[Dr Ramesh Ramloll]

Just reporting latest experience, importing in Second Life was
flawless, who building rezzed fine, with textures in place. Tried
uploading collada building in the latest version of opensim, same
issues cropped up (one random 'prim' rotated 90 deg) ... and sometimes
missing pieces ... however with the latest version, experienced a new
behavior, when pieces were missed I did not get the yellow exclamation
marks that would pop up to indicate a problem at relevant location.
Anyway will try again tomorrow to check. Sometimes I find that after
shutting down and importing, things have a better chance of working.
