[Papervision3D] Sketchup Collada materials and Papervision

[Beatrix Krümmer-Frau]

I am not sure if i can help you.
I recomand to use dae.as instead of collada, as collada is not longer 
supported and dea realy the better choice.
Did you try to open the collada in a viewer (for example air collada 
viewer) and check for the xml?
I had the strangests result exporting to collada from different 
programs, and the errors you posted seem to point to wrong xml structure.

I hope this can help to point in a direction.... actually good night and 
good luck

Beatrix
