I'm exporting a .glb file from Sketchup 2017 using the KhronosGroup GLTF exporter and importing it into Blender 2.80 using the KhronosGroup GLTF importer.
Once the file is imported I get the following Issues:
- A root object is added to the scene and all object are now its children.
- Origins for all objects are set to x:0,y:0,z:0 (same coords of the root object) individual object origins are now way outside their geometry.
- Individual axes orientation for all objects are reset.
- Global and local axes of the root are inconsistent (by design?)
To return to the original setup I have to - Use Set Origin -> To Geometry - Select individual object, enter edit mode, rotate all faces relative to the local axis - In object mode, compensate for relative local rotation and rotate the object back to its original orientation in the main scene
I need the local origins and their rotations to remain the same when moving from Sketchup to Blender because the are used in a WebGL game this asset is being used in.
I cannot use other export formats like Collada and FBX as they tend to present other problems (for example losing naming of object groups).
