Any colored furniture I create shows as unsupported

[sifugreg]

I'm really wanting to create simple color furniture. Currently, I use Alibre to create and STL file for the base image, I then import the STL into MeshMixer and save it as an OBJ then import it into SH3D and it works just fine. If, however, I color the image in MeshMixer, when I try to import it I get "The format of the chosen model isn't supported". I get this from 3DS files as well. All I'm trying to do is make a desktop a different color from the frame or the top of a tote bin a different color from the base. How do I accomplish this?

Could you check if importing these files works in Blender?

I have had this too, and my experience is that SH3D will display this message if there's any syntax errors in the [font=courier new].mtl[/font] file. If your model shows up as preview, correcting the colour-settings in the [font=courier new].mtl[/font] will solve this and make your models importable.
