#71 [COLLADA] Fails to import <polygons>

[Andy Maloney]

I have a fairly complex model exported from Google SketchUp. Based on the options I have set, it exports meshes with the <polygons> element like this:

<polygons count="2" material="Material2">
<input offset="0" semantic="VERTEX" source="#ID149" />
<ph>
<p>0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10</p>
<h>11 12 13</h>
</ph>
<ph>
<p>14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24</p>
<h>25 26 27</h>
</ph>
</polygons>

This fails to import because assimp does not recognize the <ph> element (which is part of the COLLADA standard).

I'm as frustrated with COLLADA as much as the next guy, but is there any chance someone with better knowledge of the inner workings of the assimp COLLADA importer might either take a swing at it or give some advice on how to fix it?

I've attached a small example of a simple box which was exported from SketchUp.

Thanks.
