Hi,

I try to install blender-qt3d-export to Blender 2.80 from here: https://github.com/KDAB/qt3d-examples I made all like in README.txt

But when I try to active this plugin I get this error: ImportError: cannot import name 'orientation_helper_factory' from 'bpy_extras.io_utils'

Hi
It seems to come from scripts for 2.7 used in 2.8.
So you have to fix the script to make it run again.
