      I haven't seen this before. I exported a model to KT and a couple of the materials (the walnut materials) don't seem to go over correctly. The model looks like this in SketchUp:


      http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2824/9699296313_065bf56786.jpg

      But the walnut looks like this in KT:

      http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5498/9699296559_0bb08c1e92.jpg

      The texture images in the TX folder show as the same bright green.

      The maple texture I used on the case was created in exactly the same way as the walnut but it works fine. Any idea of the fix?

      I posted on the KT forum but I figured I'd ask here since there's a lot more traffic here than there.

        If you want to post the model I will have a go at exporting it and see what happens.

            Sometimes exploding & regroup may help. Or maybe export photomatched. Also make sure that no CMYK color textures are used.

                Majid, I don't have access to the SketchUp file at the moment but if you're wondering if faces are reversed, I can assure you they are not. I'm very particular about not having exposed back faces in my models.

                FWIW, I think this issue was sorted out on the KT forum. Everything pointed to the material image not being in RGB format.
