What version of the exporter are you using?

got the same error when trying in install plugin version 4.2.0 (io_xplane2blender_4_2_0-alpha_1-101_20211103174028.zip) into Blender 3.3 on macOS Monterey (intel) any idea what could cause this ?

[melbo911]

hm... changing 3 lines in the "xplane_keyframe_collection.py" seems to fix it

import copy
import math
#from collections import Iterable, namedtuple                  <----
from collections import namedtuple                                   <----
from collections.abc import Iterable,MutableSequence    <----
from typing import List, Tuple
.
.
.

Is someone going to test this and update the release package to accommodate it?

[melbo911]

just found that the current plugin version 4.3.0 already has the same change:

import copy
import math
from collections import namedtuple
from collections.abc import MutableSequence, Iterable
from typing import List, Tuple

Any chance one of you might consider fixing the issues with the alpha-1 release that included the ability to import x-plane objects?

[melbo911]

after applying the change from above 4.2.0a1 runs basically for me.. with exports ... but no chance importing anything

getting this error regardless which OBJ I'm trying to import:

did not figure out yet why that happens

however, i found this on the web, but it relates to another plugin and Linux:

I don't think the files that support importing were included in builds after the 4.2.0 Alpha-1 build of xplane2blender. The import function works well with Blender 2.93, but not later releases. Ted Green was leading the development effort, but I don't think he's working with Laminar currently.

[DWmFrancis]

Development on the 4.2.0 Alpha-1 branch - which had import capability - stopped over a year ago, about when Ted Green left Laminar.

The last version of Blender that Alpha-1 worked with was 2.93.
