so in the folder for that model you will have...
toto.bmp
(whatever model).ase
and the texture files

ok i just noticed you are using the low collision ziggy exporter. if memory serves me right wharever textures you add to a model using it should give you the texture boxes when you import into muvizu.

also when you are in sketchup try and explode the model as much as possible so there are are no groups or components. that might do the trick. i dont think you need components using that exporter. im sure when ziggy is around he'll give you more accurate help. i dont use that exporter so im not 100% sure on how it handles textures.

I just paint each surface in Sketchup a different colour, using a different texture map stored as a 256x256 BMP file in C:\UT3. So I might have the following files in C:\UT3 each being a 256x256 BMP in a different colour, as the filename indicates:


toto.bmp (the mandatory file, usually pink),
blue.bmp
yellow.bmp
red. bmp
green.bmp etc.]]> Fri, 26 Dec 2014 15:06:56 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic4706-muvizu-and-sketchup-question--surfaces.aspx

However, what do I need to do in Sketchup for the object to have multiple surfaces, so that, when I double-click on it in Muvizu, I get more than one surface to paint a different texture on. The object I am creating is a multi-panelled door and I want each of the 4 panels and the door itself to be capable of having a different texture. I have tried -


1) Creating the door then each panel separately, making each a group and creating one component incorporating all five groups.
2) Doing as above but making each group into a separate component, giving five components.


I select the whole door and export. But, either way, Muvizu seeks the door as having only one single paintable surface rather than five paintable surfaces.


Once again, thanks in advance.]]> Fri, 26 Dec 2014 14:33:07 GMT
