Thank you for answering, that just worked out perfect!!!!!!!! Thanks

Have some trouble applying materials in Sketch up to a 3d curved solid imported from autocad, faces in the model seem to subdivide and the material applies to each subdivided face even if having the solid as a component in Sketch up. Is there a way to make the material applies to the hole component? I attached a picture of it. Can someone help me?

i cant apply the material i have to explode or to edit the component to apply the material is there an easier way?

How can i apply materials in SU in a .3ds imported file? Does it need to be converted to something else?

Moved to newbie forum

Thanks i will try that!

Have some trouble importing autocad curved solid because some faces of the solid dissapear, i have already tried changing the import options in sketchup but the problem is still there, do i need to change something in my autocad settings so it works in sketchup?
