Hi, guys!
I started to use ModelPort with Archicad. I read the info that Archicad's SketchUp import plugin doesn't work in parallel with ModelPort's plugin, so I chose “Go to”, to run ModelPort (screenshot attached). It worked well, but now I'm not able to save the 3D model to any SketchUp version. The option doesn't appear on “save as” window. I also don't know how to turn back as before running the plugin.
How can I fix it?
Is it possible to export my models to SketchUp and also import 3D objects using ModelPort?
Best regards!
Operating system used: Mac Intel-based Sequoia

I just run a test. I haven't noticed there is an add-on preference on ModelPort menu, I thought they were referring to Add-on Manager on Archicad.
I checked ModelPort's add-on preference, and it shows how to reactivate Sketchup In-Out add-on. Nevertheless, it requires restarting Archicad each time you need to change between the import loaders.
I wonder if there is a better way to do it.

If you open the Add-on Manager, can you just turn the Sketchup In-Out add-on back on?

Hi, Barry.
No, it doesn't appear on Add-on Manager. 😔

So no there is no Sketchup -In-Out ?
Maybe Model Port somehow deleted it completely?
The only thing I can think of is to re-start Archicad.
If there is an add-on for Model port then turn that off first.
Otherwise someone who has Model Port installed may be able to help (I don't have it).

Yes, it seems like it was deleted, but then, after checking on the ModelPort Menu, I discovered how to restore it. I best explained it in my last reply.
I wish I had known this before reinstalling my Archicad. 😅
I will send a report to ModelPort to ask for improvements in the next version.
