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

<t>OK ... so I tried 4.0 ... still got the gray block.<br/>
<br/>
I tried the "copy furniture" app ...... will not work with 4.0, said to use "insalled" version, not java version ... hmmmmm<br/>
<br/>
OK, so I uninstalled 4.0 and installed 3.7<br/>
<br/>
I installed the app.<br/>
<br/>
I followed ...

<t>Installed 4.0 ..... still the same problem.<br/>

I must be missing something.<br/>
<br/>
I made a wall. Gave it shingles on one side and a color on the other.<br/>
<br/>
I exported it as an obj file.<br/>
<br/>
I went into my house file.<br/>
<br/>
I imported the roof ( wall section ) as ...

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

Too many late nights I guess. I am living in VT in an RV (freezing) trying to build the house I designed on this program last ...

<t>I should add the gray block is only at one end. If I copy and paste a this item then rotate it 180, the block is at the other end. It is only visible from "one side". In other words, if I have the same item, side by side and rotate one 180 degrees, I can see a gray block at the end of one roof ...

<t>Hello,<br/>

<t>Hello,<br/>
<br/>
I read the tutorial and was able to draw a building complete with a roof.<br/>
<br/>
I created the roof in a separate window and then brought it in as furniture. <br/>
<br/>
My problem is that at the end of the roof is a large gray square block.<br/>

I had the same problem ...

<r>Awesome!<br/>
<br/>
I will give this a try.<br/>

<t>Hello,<br/>
<br/>
I am having a funny problem.<br/>
<br/>
Let me give two examples:<br/>
<br/>
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 ...

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
