import sketchup file to archicad 14

Anonymous
Not applicable
I've downloaded the latest google earth plug in (add on) from graphisoft, rebooted the pc and tried to open a .SKP file in Archicad 14 and when its open there is no drawing content (yes all the layers are turned on)

the version of archicad is XP 32 bit build 3269.

I also tried dragging and dropping the .SKP file into "model space" and it crashes out archicad doing it that way.

is there any other way of doing it?

am i doing something wrong?

the blurb for this plug in says its "one click and seemless", that made me sceptical for a start lol!

Is this happening with a specific SKP file or with all SKP files?
Try to get a very simple SKP file that contains only a cube or something and see if that opens or not.
If it does then it maybe a file-specific problem.
