      Hi guys, sometimes when i import a model from sketchup to lumion, some faces come "brown'.

      Here is an image to show:

      The roof is supposed to be white, as it is in the sketchup file:

      Anybody knows why is it happening?

        It's not a material issue, it's a GI issue. What version of Lumion do you have? As the new version is tailored more for interiors and there are tools to get interiors right.

        The quick fix (if your roof is a separate material) is to give it a very slight emissive value, or use the AO tools that come with new version (I do not have the new version so I cannot help)

        If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

          Yeah it´s possible to "fix" by adding emissivity, but it gets kinda weird..
          I have lumion 3. What do you mean by AO tools?

            In your movie effects options there is one called Global Illumination, There you can set sun effects, which will fix the ceiling, again I do not have this version so I cannot really help much, if you go to the Lumion forum they will help you better.

                  check in Sketchup what the face orientation may be, i.e. if those are oreinted correctly and not backfaces

                  Save the Earth, it's the only planet with chocolate.
