Re: Texture is lost when importing a simple .dae COLLADA object from SketchUp
Most likely reason: When Sketchup saves a textured .dae file, it creates a subdirectory with the same name as the .dae file with the textures. The .dae file has relative links to the textures, so if the directory is no longer available--e.g. if the .dae file was moved--SH3D will not find the textures when the .dae file is imported. A texture link in a .dae file looks something like this.
