I’m having the same problem. Twinmotion 2019 crashes when importing 70MB Sketchup file (instant crash).
Have tried saving as .SKP version 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, and no success.

Imports Cinema 4D files fine.

Working on a Mac OSX 10.13.6

Having the same problem, downloaded Twinmotion and it crashes every time I try to import any kind of .skp files. It doesn’t even load, just immediately crashes, please help!

Same here… Twinmotion on Mac crashes on import of any skp file. Windows appears to work fine.

Hello all,

This is a known issue, keep an eye on this: https://twinmotionhelp.epicgames.com/s/article/Importing-Sketchup-Files-Crashing-Twinmotion-on-Mac

Kudos to all 6 of you for searching the issue instead of creating new threads.

Same crash issue, on MAC. disappointing to say the least.

Same. I made a cube and saved it 2016 (tried 2013 too) sketchup pro and it crashes. Twinmotion used to work with Sketchup very nicely so they must have broken something and are working to put it back together.

Same thing with DAE files too.

If you want to temporarily work around it, export as OBJ. It works like it used to work with Sketchup and I imagine will again in the near future. It does a great job of grouping the whole import so setting materials is a breeze.
