Seperate by material
-
Hi, I'm not a sketchup user, but one of my clients sends me files which I then import into Blender. The problem is that if an object has more than one material, the uv's don't import if any of those materials don't have a texture.
Is there an easy way for him to create one object per material before sending me the file?

If the object in SketchUp has a material that is a colour value rather than a bitmap then the mesh has no UVs.
If your client applies any material to the object that use a bitmap then you'll get UVs.
Are you importing .skp files to Blender or another file format?

The models have a combination of materials with textures, and materials with just colours set in the colour picker. I'm using the sketchup importer available here:
https://github.com/RedHaloStudio/Sketchup_Importer/releases
It's obviously a bug with the importer, which seems to lose the uv's if the object has a combination of materials with and without textures.
So I'm thinking the workaround would be to have the client somehow make sure I only get one material per object. I have no clue how he'd do this, hopefully there's some sort of function to seperate objects by materials?

Yes, that importer will not create UVs for colour values materials in SketchUp.
Ask your client to use ThruPaint to Replace Colours with Textures.
