The resulting object will have the original object hierarchy but all nodes will be empty. The DAE file does contain mesh data, but it's dumped as a list of nodes after the original hierarchy like this:
In the "Import as Nodes" mode, SAMDL loads hierarchy belonging to the first child of the root mode, so the mesh data doesn't get included in the imported hierarchy (the screenshot was taken on a build with that code commented out). This can be fixed easily but the hierarchy would still be wrong even if it was.
I don't know enough about chunk models, weights etc. to be able to fix this on my own.
Steps to reproduce:
Load the model in SAMDL. amy.zip
Export as DAE.
Create a new model and import DAE.
