Sketchup to 3ds Help

[Raymond333]

I recently posted this on the No Limits Help Thread:

has nothing to do with the last post, but, I am trying to create objects using the following method (I don't have Sketchup Pro)

1.Make model in Sketchup

2.Save as .skp

3.Exit Sketchup

4.Open Sketchup>select model

5.File>Export>3D Model

6.Save as .kmz

7.Exit Sketchup

8.Find .kmz file>right click>7 Zip>open archive

9.open model folder>put .dae file in model folder in a place with .skp

10.open fbx converter

11.convert .dae file to .fbx

12.change format to .3ds

13.convert

 

The .dae file comes with no textures, so the .3ds result doesn't come with textures either. Although I don't think it has anything to do with the converter (Autodesk FBX converter), but it might. I need help getting the texture on it. Any help would be appreciated!

I got one reply but it didn't work. So, I decided to start a thread about it. I'm sure some of you have the same problem, so any help would be great.
