Problems with Sketchup models

TomB · February 22, 2019 at 3:12 PM

I have converted some sketchup models and included them successfully into Aerofly. But with some I really have problems as they either do not display all textures or parts of the model are flying slightly above. There are no colours in these models, just textures.

Sample Schloss Chillon lake geneva with missing walls/roofs:

Hello Thomas,

these are some problems, which can appear with Sketchup models.

I import them into AC3D and try to correct this. I don't know whether you use AC3D or direct conversion with ModelconverterX.

Double sided faces: AC3D set single-sided faces

Face invisible: AC3D flip normal

BMP 32bit: Save as 24bit bmp with Gimp or Irfanview

Regards

Thanks Rodeo, I have no experience with AC3D. If you say it is possible to correct such display errors with AC3D then I would invest into it moneywise and learningwise.

That's the way I use it.

But first check the bmp to see what happens.

I changed all 32bit to 24bit bmp ---> no success.

I tried to find the features single sided face and flip normal in Blender and to understand ---> I see that I have not the time to learn a 3d programme which seems to be neccessary to import more complex models from sketchup. It at least works with simpler models (e.g. cooling towers).
