Problem importing furniture; colors disappear/wrong
Hello, I am a newbie
I have tried importing additional furniture but the colors disappear. I imported one from the sweet home 3d website which worked with colors but others from elsewhere disappear. one example is the IKEA barstool from the website polantis. Any ideas? Thank you in advance!

Re: Problem importing furniture; colors disappear/wrong
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly! I also cannot seem to import the obj that i made in Blender with its colors/textures either- is this as similar problem of not saving the MTL files with OBJ? I would imagine that Blender has a way of doing so if any program does

So Ive just checked and the MTL file is saved by blender right next to the OBJ file. How can I put them together so that SweetHome 3D imports them together?

Inside the OBJ file is a line that points to the MTL file. So if both files are in the same directory, the MTL is automatically imported/copied alongside the OBJ file.
If you want to prevent errors, you can combine both files in a ZIP files.

Hmmm...
I undertand about the files from Polantis
I think that I am doing something wrong inside Blender; I took the fireplace from SweetHome3D's website just now, imported it into Blender, changed the brown to green, and exported it as a new OBJ file. When I tried to import the new fireplace into SweetHome3D the section of the fireplace that I changed had no color(white) It did not revert to the brown and other colors like the yellow from the grate was still there. What is this newbie overlooking?

ok, well I have gone to importing the OBJ files into Blender and exporting as DAE files, which seems to be working. Perhaps there are just a few hiccups with Sweet Home 3D importing OBJ files still?

Re: Problem importing furniture; colors disappear/wrong
The scale now is still off and I have to type in the appropriate dimensions when importing into Sweet Home 3D but that is probably due the my lack of expertise in Blender. Thanks for your help!
