Important/Additional Notes:
This plugin has been developed and tested for ArchVis, using Dataprep for import, Sequencer for animation, and Movie Render Queue for rendering. It should work fine for any other purpose (the plugin packages and works properly) but please contact me first if you have any particular use case in mind.
The Dataprep Operations were made and tested for Datasmith files coming from SketchUp. They should work similarly with Datasmith files coming from other software but feel free to contact me first if you have any particular questions.
