      Hello.

      I've been researching all over google but couldn't find a solution for this problem. I've been using Maxwell 3.1 RS with the bundled SketchUp plugin. Since Kerkythea times that I'm used to work with standalone render engine, so I only use the plugin in order to export the file to be opened on Studio. The problem I have is that when I export from Sketchup to MXS either by using the plugin button or using the regular export feature provided by the default SU menu, I don't manage to get the full hierarchy of groups and components. That is, when I open the MXS file on Studio I have multiple groups for each layer, then I have, for each, just one group inside, which then has all the groups or components I created without any further hierarchisation.
      As an example, if I have one component called window, copied several times, with other components inside such as 4 glass panels and others for framing, when i open that on Maxwell Studio, I have an endless list with all the components all inside just one group.

      This is very annoying, as you may expect, as it's very hard to organize my workflow within studio.

      Another doubt I have is if it is possible within Maxwell to select one desired face belonging to some geometry (like selecting one face of a whole cube). The objective lies on modifying the UV for that particular face.

      Thanks to everyone for the help!
