If you are having trouble importing a .rdc file with this add-on, please provide the following information:

• The .rdc file
  venise-RD_1.31

• Your GPU name
  NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU

• Version of this add-on
  v0.7.0

At first I was getting this error

Python: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\MYCOM\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\4.1\scripts\addons\MapsModelsImporter\operators.py", line 60, in execute
    importCapture(context, self.filepath, self.max_blocks, self.use_experimental, pref)

    obj.matrix_world = matrix * globalScale
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ReferenceError: StructRNA of type Object has been removed

I then tried to load in a 1.25 sample model (BigBen) just to see and now I get this error when I try the Venice sample.

==========================================================================================
google_maps_rd failed and returned:

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

What is really odd, at least to me, is that when I try to import my first capture it loads the model but it is all jacked-up:

But when I load subsequent captures I am getting the "Please make sure that..." error message.

Let me know if you need any additional info!

Couldn't open file: File format is unrecognised: Unrecognised file type. File magic number is 0a0a0a0a.

For some reason the file is not recognized, maybe venise-RD_1.31 was nto correctly downloaded (it happens with large files on GitHub)

The problem with you own captures may be different, could you share one? Also you may try the fix suggested in #317
