Sketchup models have the textures included with the model, and I am not sure if you can export the textures, but I will have a look.]]> Wed, 08 Dec 2010 12:08:38 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic777-how-do-i-import-with-textures.aspx Message from RightURKen I'm not following you. But could be my fault. I forgot to mention I'm importing from Google Warehouse, I'm not making the items myself.

Is there a way to import completed models from Warehouse with textures.]]> Wed, 08 Dec 2010 11:54:19 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic777-how-do-i-import-with-textures.aspx Message from glasgowjim RightURKen wrote:

If you change the file name and path to the correct bitmap/tga then it should work. .

I not sure what you mean here. Are you saying change C:\ut3\toto.bmp? To what from there?

You change the file path to the location where you have saved the custom textures on your computer:

For instance if your custom texture files are saved at C:\users\Ken\Pictures\texture1.bmp you would change the file path in the .ase file to that.]]> Wed, 08 Dec 2010 10:29:56 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic777-how-do-i-import-with-textures.aspx Message from RightURKen glasgowjim wrote:

There is a problem with the Sketchup Importer's textures - it makes them all the defaultd toto.bmp but there is a work-around:

If you open up the .ase file using Wordpad or any other text editor (I use Notepad++) you will see the following sections for each material:

*MAP_DIFFUSE {
*MAP_CLASS "Bitmap"
*BITMAP "C:\ut3\toto.bmp"

If you change the file name and path to the correct bitmap/tga then it should work.

Take care,

Works fine for some objects that don't need textures, since I can't seem to import the textures with the objects.. I need houses and city buildings, offices, skyscapers, that sort of thing. Problem with buildings is that they need textures to be complete. Am I doing something wrong or is there no current way to import objects with textures?]]> Tue, 07 Dec 2010 01:42:01 GMT
