I don't know why it shows Invalid RDC capture file. Please make sure that:

1. You are using the recommended RenderDoc Version for this Add-on
   • RenderDoc Version 1.5 - 1.9 for MapsModelsImporter <= 0.3.2
   • RenderDoc Version = 1.10 for MapsModelsImporter >= 0.3.3 and <= 0.3.7
   • RenderDoc Version 1.13 - 1.14 for MapsModelsImporter >= 0.4.0 and <= 0.4.2
   • RenderDoc Version = 1.19 for MapsModelsImporter >= 0.5.0
2. You are importing from Google Maps or Google Earth web
3. You were MOVING in the 3D view while taking the capture (you can use the "Capture after delay"-button in RenderDoc).

Before opening a new Issue on GitHub please download a working sample file to check if this works on your Computer. Please be patient. If there's no error message it might still be loading. It can take a minute or two to load it and Blender will get unresponsive during this time. Find sample files here: https://github.com/eliemichel/MapsModelsImporter-samples

If it works with a sample file you most probably shouldn't open a new issue on GitHub but figure out how to use RenderDoc. Find instructions about using RenderDoc by searching YouTube for "Capturing Google Maps with RenderDoc"

If the sample file doesn't work: Please report to MapsModelsImporter developers providing the full console log with debug information. First turn on debug output by activating the "Debug Info"-checkbox under Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > MapsModelsImporter On Windows systems console log is accessible in Windows > Toggle System Console (right click to copy). On Linux systems you have to run Blender from the console to get the debug output

I have the same problem: the error pops up if I use RenderDoc 1.19.

I tried downloading a sample (Cape Town) created with RenderDoc 1.13 (the most recent one from the samples) and I could import it. I tried capturing with 1.13 and importing my capture, but I got nothing: no error, no mesh imported.

Blender 3.3 MapsModelImporter v.0.5.0

Maybe you can use blender 3.1

I managed to make it work with RenderDoc 1.19. Apparently, the secret is to use a delayed capture and to move the camera as RenderDoc is capturing. You'll notice the capture goes up into the hundreds of MBs, and Blender will import it.

[Jinuro]

let me try your blender is 3.1 or 3.3

[savissimo]

Mine is 3.3. @Hareden had 3.1.
