Proxy object issues Tweet

[CaptainCrowbar]

Several people have reported problems using proxy objects with the SketchUp plugin. I've been looking into this but so far have been unable to reproduce the problems. Does anyone have a more detailed description of how to reproduce the problem, or an example I can download and try out?

proxies made with the latest versions of su plugin don'work.
when you export the scene ,( a tree for example) in ocs using export to ocs feature , something weird happens to the object, it moves in the render window after export.
then when you open the scene in standalone , everything is ok . but when you try to load that orbx , or ocs scene through proxy in another scene in sketchup , it does not render anything , or sometimes the scaling of the objects is completely wrong ,and there are no materials.
otherwise , proxies made through the same method with version (2.13 - 0.13.87)-made by fuzyy , work just as expected in any other version of su plugin.
So i'm thinking it's actually an export problem.
thank you for your interest , and i hope i was explicit.

Made a video to show this problem that's been with us for WAY too long.

This is what it looks like when the process is working.

Thanks, pasmangiu and fivebythree. Your information has allowed me to reproduce the problem and narrow down the cause; the problem seems to actually be in the OCS exporter rather than the proxy system itself. I'm investigating further now.

Great. I'll be able to make quick videos from now on to show what I mean. Cause I swore this was a proxy problem, when its just export.
