Importing google sketchup models with those lines?

[BMF]

When importing sketchup models into irrlicht, the lines I had on the edges (and other places, really) disappear. Is there any way to export the models with those lines?

Where in the process are the lines lost? In exporting? Or is it that Irrlicht doesn't support them?

Btw, I'm using the .OBJ file format.

Thanks.

Could you further explain what you mean by lines? I'm guessing the wireframes? You'll have to turn on wireframe display in irrlicht.

//Edit
Try with:

Code: Select all

yourNode->setDebugDataVisible(scene::EDS_MESH_WIRE_OVERLAY);

When exporting, hit the "Options..." button and check "Export edges", that might work.

We've already tried that, and it didn't work.

I've been told that the problem is that Irrlicht only stores information for triangles when loading a model, so any "lines" on the modelling program are lost. I believe it shouldn't be much of a problem if properly textured, though. We'll see.

No, Irrlicht does not load lines from file formats. But I did not know that .obj containes lines We'll have to think about a proper integration of special geometric shapes into the Irrlicht render pipeline. Currently you can only do this by adding a custom scene node with custom loading routines...

Deesines' method should work, but I really think the lines should be part of the texture, they are only in the editor to help you model and should not be exported. If you are relying on them to make the model look good then you are a little confused I think. Good luck

Oh, no. Deesine's method should work if I wanted the wireframe to be show. And that is not it. Anyways, textures will do, as previously said.
