.3ds model looses its color

I'm using sweet Home 3D Version 4.2. I've downloaded .3ds models from the site http://archive3d.net/. when they are importing in sweet home the color of the models disppears and some models appears in splitted manner i.e ( a gate appears in three different parts)

whereas .shd files are importing correct.

why this is happening?

It happens because archive3d.net wants you to BUY their models. So, the free models are only in white.

Hans, where did you get that information? Isn't it rather the same old issues with the 3DS loader?

Re: .3ds model looses its color

You will see a caveat on Model import page: http://www.sweethome3d.com/importModels.jsp - that many of archive3d models cannot be imported.

Sometimes, though, the elements are specified and can be edited in SH3D (or other software). Other times they also appear fragmented/shifted/split. However, this happens not only in SH3D import but in other software (such as Blender) as well, whenever I have tried.

In addition, some of the model files are too big and have copyright limitations that makes them less than an ideal choice.

ok
