Importing to Unity, mesh normals broken?
-
Hey guys,
I've been playing with SU and Unity for a few hours and I just can figure out how to avoid this problem:
The drawer is built using just Arcs and Push/Pull.
I'm importing .skp 2015 directly into Unity, but FBX produces the same mesh.
I must be missing something obvious here, thanks for your help!!

As you can see, either unity or fbx doesn't deal with ngon faces just triangle faces. So either the exporter or unity is breaking the face into tris. If you break it in sketchup, prior of exporting, you can probably reverse faces or soften smooth the correct ones and also preserve UVs. I suspect something like that might be happening but have no experience on the matter of Unity.

Unity triangulates meshes as JQL pointed out but it's not necesserily a bad thing. Because i don't get weird light-maps or textures broken when imported .skp files and i'm not going to edit meshes inside Unity.
So i suspect there is something wrong with your .skp model/geometry, can you share?

Maybe the problem isn't shading caused by faulty normals but just a visual effect of all the dashed lines. What happens if you do the Unity equivalent of SketchUp's hide hidden geometry?
