dskogg Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I am trying to import this skp model and when ca imports the material for the metal supports is the same as the wood legs...any ideas how to fix this? i tried changing metal to blue in sketchup to see if this would work and then i could just adjust material on import..but it comes in the same colour as wood legs.

Alaskan_Son Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Here you go as a one time courtesy.... DS Chair.calibz If you ever need stuff like this fixed up for you in the future, shoot me an email. I offer this type of thing as a support service for quite a few people. I basically help deal with some of the oddball complicated little time sinks so you can keep doing what you do best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneDavis Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 David, what version of SU are you using. I see it is labeled as 18.something. I use free Sketchup Make 2017 and could not open your SKP file, but downloaded the Cessi chair group from the 3D Warehouse. Is yours the web-based 2018 version of Make?

GeneDavis Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Thanks. I probably did what Michael did, which was to do some degrouping. A lot of the stuff you get from the 3D Whse needs this kind of fiddling to get textures to identify separately in Chief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dskogg Posted November 22, 2019 Author Share Posted November 22, 2019 Yes that is what i did as well, i ungrouped items until i could change bracing to another material..didnt seem to work for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Well, that's the diff between Pro and Free Make! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually did it right in Chief. Just about never use Sketchup anymore. On 11/22/2019 at 10:30 AM, dskogg said: Thanks Michael, what did you have to do...or that secrete sauce stuff? Not secret. Used a more perfected method of some basic methodology I've posted here on the forum in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
