Thanks so much Mick. I'll check them out.

Sorry, I'm a pretty occasional user. My name is my username. I have Home Designer 10 (I think). I always re-save any Sketchup files as version 7 before importing. I'm just confused as to what makes some appear weird after importation. I understand Home Designer doesn't have the ability to "fix" bad symbols though how do I know what's actually wrong with them when they appear perfectly fine in Sketchup? How do I fix what looks like a perfect 3D model? Cheers.

Hi all I've been having fun playing around with the vast array of freely available models from the Sketchup 3D Warehouse though am wondering if anyone can provide alternate sources for freely available 3D models? Just looking to learn and stretch my legs. Cheers

I have imported several items successfully from the 3D Warehouse though occasionally run into problems with the way materials are displayed. I have very little/no Sketchup knowledge and am at a loss as to how to fix these issues. For example, materials on some items of furniture appear mixed-up and ill-fitting once imported though when viewed in Sketchup they appear perfect. I have read some information which indicated it might be a "directional face" problem though I have no idea what that means. Has anyone else experienced these issues or can anyone shed some light? Would certainly make my life easier :-)
