IMPORTANT SETTING FOR USING SKETCHUP AND CryENGINE3

Hi All,


I forgot to say in the tutorial that if you are using Windows 7 you will need to turn your User Account Settings (UAC) down to "Never Notify" to be able to export from SketchUp to CryENGINE3.


This is because Windows 7 doesn't like one program asking another program to do something. The dialogue box says that this isn't recommended ... but driving a car, swimming in the ocean and falling in love are all things that Windows 7 doesn't recommend, so I wouldn't worry about it.


Step 1.


To turn your UAC settings to "Never Notify", type UAC in the start window at the bottom left ... at the top you'll see a "Change User Account Settings" option. Click that.

Step 2. 

Turn the slider down to the bottom.

Step 3.

Restart your computer for the change to take effect. This only has to be done once.


This was probably the most common problem we had last year ... so if your model doesn't show up in the Geometric Entities tab, even after you've pressed "Reload", check this.


Cheers
