Color of imported furniture is always grey
Hi,

I am new to Sweet Home 3D, and I would like to ask a question regarding the color of imported furniture.
My goal is to create a kitchen in my CAD package, and import this as furniture into SH3D.
Unfortunately the furniture is always grey after it is imported.

As an example I created a random green part in my CAD software, and exported it as a Wavefront file.
When I open the .obj file in the default Windows viewer, it is indeed green. The green is also in the .mtl file. Based on this I would think that nothing went wrong during the export from my CAD package.

But when I import it as furniture into SH3D, the part is always grey instead of green.
What am I doing wrong?
This is the mtl file:

newmtl DEFAULT_MTL
Kd 0.635 0.686 0.749

newmtl MTL0
Kd 0.000 1.000 0.000


I tried changing it to this, as I thought that might make the part red, but nothing changed unfortunately:

newmtl DEFAULT_MTL
Kd 0.900 0.100 0.100

newmtl MTL0
Kd 0.000 1.000 0.000


Looking forward to any advice!
