User OBJ Library
A menu builder for a library of .obj files. As the first step, you'll have to create
a folder named »ObjLib« under (UserFolder)/Data. When installed, creates
a menu in Get>Primitive. Folder structure in the ObjLib will be recreated as the menu
structure in Get->Primitive->User Object Library. Works for wavefront obj file format
only — (Update) new version also scans all existing workgroups for Data/ObjLib
submenus.
This addon is now integrated in the STL/OBJ Import/Export addon: AdditionalFileFormats.xsiaddon

Re: User .obj library
I don't know why but after using this plugin with big meshes it crushes and breaks obj file. I don't know why. Probably because of big file size or multiple meshes per file

Re: User .obj library
I just used the built in importer, maybe the file was locked after it failed to import.
I uploaded a new version that uses my own importer. Maybe it works better, it should at least be faster (also it selects the newly imported object)

Re: User .obj library
Built in importer failed to import those obj files too. I just deleted materials and made meshes one object and it worked.
Updated script doesn't import obj files from old obj library folder

Re: User .obj library
I merged my custom STL/OBJ importers and the ObjLib plugin. User needs to set the base directory (that's going to be menu-fied) in the "File Format Options" section in preferences. It also scans the old Data/ObjLib folders for backwards compatibilty. Hope it works this time
