Hi,
It seems that Gary told me about SimLab in a post here but when I put it in the search, it does not find anything on that. Anyway, I'm in the trial period and I wanted to try it out before I purchase both the Sim Lab Importer and Exporter. It seems to work very well and does a much better job importing textures along with the model. But the problem I'm having is that when I export it, the textures material names in Sketchup are not being used but instead it's using their original names. So the textures were exported just fine. But when I import this into MCX, the model is imported but I'm getting the warning "Fail to Load Materials," which are materials 1 through 29. It's not loading the materials because Sketchup exported the textures as materials 1 through 29 instead of their original names, and that's why I'm getting this warning in MCX. As I said, the textures were exported but their file names does not match the material names that in the model. Why is that, and what do I need to do so that the textures will load in MCX? Will I have to rename all the materials in Sketchup to make this work?
Thanks, Ken.
