.DAE file recognition

" If D5 could directly recognize a .DAE file ( as Lumion and Twinmotion currently do ) it would open up this wonderful program to a whole world of new users.
I guess it must be hard to accomplish, but don’t even see it on the to do list of future enhancements … "

Hi there,

May I know what’s your workflow?

Jessie:

Thanks for getting back to me.
I currently use Chief Architect which is capable of creating a .3DS or a .DAE file; neither of which works in D5 … :cry:I have tried the workaround of sending to Sketchup first but S.U. butchers both file types resulting in a large number of polygons that must be fixed
and then assigned groups so that D5 textures can be applied to individual items. Hours of work …
Is direct .DAE recognition by D5 on the horizon ?
I and a number of people that I know would def. buy the lifetime lic. if D5 recognizes .DAE file.

Hi there,

D5 Converter-Chief Architect will be developed soon.
Please stay tuned.

Thank you

For what it’s worth, I would buy this instant if there was support for DAE.

Good afternoon! Are there any updates on this subject?

Thank you!

Yes, we are working on importing dae and stl formats directly.
If you have specific .dae files, could you please share one with us for testing?
Thanks

Can we have the Collada (dae) model import facility in the next update, please

I’ve been told that they should have this available by December…fingers crossed.

Hello!

Are there any updates on this? I don’t see it anywhere on the roadmap, and this is the only thing keeping our company from switching to D5 as our rendering software.

Thank you!
