Can someone help me to figure out how to import a collada file (.dae) directly to a scene
[Divor.txt.zip](https://forum.babylonjs.com/uploads/short-url/zWUwX8Z1nzmOp3zkauAeUd4NwM9.zip) (2.4 KB)
Im using to import:
BABYLON.SceneLoader.ImportMesh(‘’, ‘./’, ‘Divor.dae’, scene, function (meshes) {
Im getting the following error:
[Warning] BJS - [22:57:03]: Unable to find a plugin to load .dae files. Trying to use .babylon default plugin. To load from a specific filetype (eg. gltf) see: [Loading Any File Type | Babylon.js Documentation](https://doc.babylonjs.com/features/featuresDeepDive/importers/loadingFileTypes) (babylon.js, line 1)

As far as I know there are no plugins supporting DAE for Babylon.js.
One needs to save DAE file as GLTF/GLB, for example using Blender.
Here is another thread with the same question - [Collada / .dae Importer](https://forum.babylonjs.com/t/collada-dae-importer/5750)

it is used in the microsoft ros vscode extension here
