Imported objects are transparent!

Post by basil_battery »

Hello
Every object I import from recommended site (www.archibaseplanet.com) looks transparent on 3D view.
For example, I take this object http://www.archibaseplanet.com/download/16722.html and I see it like this http://s46.radikal.ru/i111/0906/8a/14e8d717c920.jpg
Objects from this site are very useful for me. How can I make them visible?

The easiest way with Sweet Home 3D would be to:
- import the model 3D file in an empty home
- export it to OBJ format with "3D view > Export to OBJ format..."
- edit the MTL file generated along with OBJ file with a text editor
- change the transparency line that starts with "d xxx" to "d 1"
- save MTL file
- import the exported OBJ file
