• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Sketchup textures after DAE export ?

I have created a simple model in SketchUp 8 with 5 attached png textures to this model. It looks fine in SketchUp, but when exporting to DAE i only get 4 out of 5 textures in the new folder.
I have tried placing all textures in same layer before export, but the result is still the same.

Can anyone explain why?

Thanks
Michael
 
Hi,

Are you sure that all 5 are used in your model? Only the textures actually applied will be saved to the texture folder.
 
Hi Arno,

I can see that they are all applied to the model in SU.
The model, a helipad actually, consists of five 'squares' each with its own texture.

If i try to add the one texture missing then one of the other textures are left out...and still only four textures. Really odd.


Thanks
Michael
 
If I reduce the number of textures to four and then export to DAE, then only three textures are exported :confused:


Thanks

Hi,

Very weird. I have not seen this problem before.

I assume that when you import the DAE again into SketchUp some parts are missing their texture?
 
Hi Arno,


I have tried importing to Model Converter X and that was how I discovered the missing texture, but I will try also importing to SU.

I should perhaps add that all textures in SU are applied as images to my model. I created a quick test model, just a square really, applied a single image and exported as DAE. No textures were exported.

I am sure I am doing something wrong in SU, but not sure what yet.


Thanks
Michael
 
Ok, the problem seems to relate to transparent png textures only, which I had used for this model.

But what causes this I dont know.


Thanks
Michael
 
Hi,

Normally when you mix textures with transparency you will see that SketchUp exports the ones without transparency as JPG files and the ones with transparency as PNG files. But it should export all of them.

Could it be that you have a texture0.jpg and a texture0.png?
