Re: Textures not importing
Yeah its definitely strange. I have all the files that came with the download all together, and they show up correctly on the model itself, but for some reason when trying to render a high quality image they show up completely black.
I've even loaded other similar models, followed the direction of making sure the mtl is going to the correct texture file and loaded into SH3D and they do just fine. There's something about this specific model that I can't get right.

Re: Textures not importing
Are you sure you have the correct texture for the part that turns black? High quality is rendered differently (of course) and handles the texture differently (with reflection, light, etc). Try to set a different texture from Sweethome3D and see if the high quality render does better. If the result is the same the problem is in the model, if it is good the problem is the texture. Maybe you just selected the wrong image from the original texture set. Also check if changing the light setting makes a difference (switching off ceiling light). And you can try to switching between the sunflow and jafaray renderers.

Re: Textures not importing
I managed to figure it out! I went into the Materials menu and noticed there was a material listed as an "outline", so I selected that to be invisible, re-rendered the photo and now it appears to be working correctly.

Re: Textures not importing
A similar(ish) issue, for the record.
Having exported a new window design assembly (with integrated cill, the frame & cill being of different colours) - on furniture import the model was monocolour.
On turning Pan3d view settings item "Outline" from "both" to "none" then re-exporting/import both colours were re-established.
