I was trying 4.0 to see if it eliminated a problem I was having with importing furniture.

I tried the "copy furniture" plug in. It gave me an error saying "use installed version" .. so I had to go back to 3.7

Thanks .... Mike

OK ... so I tried 4.0 ... still got the gray block.

I tried the "copy furniture" app ...... will not work with 4.0, said to use "insalled" version, not java version ... hmmmmm

OK, so I uninstalled 4.0 and installed 3.7

I installed the app.

I followed the directions exactly ..... it worked ...

Installed 4.0 ..... still the same problem.

I must be missing something.

I made a wall. Gave it shingles on one side and a color on the other.

I exported it as an obj file.

I went into my house file.

I imported the roof ( wall section ) as furniture.

Even at this point when you get to the ...

Sorry, for some reason I didn't see your replay ( I must be getting old, looked for it and just didn't see it).

I will give this a try tonight!

I am working on putting a roof on a house ... well actually we are framing the house I designed, now onto the workshop.

Walls, no problem but the ...

Hello,

I read the tutorial and was able to draw a building complete with a roof.

I created the roof in a separate window and then brought it in as furniture.

My problem is that at the end of the roof is a large gray square block.

I had the same problem on my last project. When I put in a ...

Awesome!

I will give this a try.

This program has been a life saver!

I am a mechanical designer and with the exception of some Solid Works projects I did for a group doing CNC 3 axis machining, my work is always done on AutoCad in 2D.

Hello,

I am having a funny problem.

Let me give two examples:

1) I draw a roof and export it as an OBJ file. I bring it in and place it on the house. In the 3D view the roof looks great but I see a gray block at the end. It is the size of the end view of the roof. I can not see through this block ...

Sorry again!

I got it to work.

I see where the material is defined twice ( just missed it the first time)>

Thanks so much (again) .... Mike
