Importing 3d model issue

[magabuddy]

I am using HD Suite 2017, and often run into problems when I import downloaded furniture models into the software.

I usually import either OBJ or 3DS files and the 2 major issues are that either some of the parts of the object are misplaced or I get one whole object and I can assign only one material to it.

 

In the pic I enclosed, on the left is the 3ds model, and you may clearly see what I mean. The one on the right is obj, and cannot assign different materials to it.

 

Any way to fix this???

Thank you 

Marissa

I would suggest you go to the home designer site. It has just about everything you need. I rarely have to import 3rd party objects and fixtures unless

it's something unusual. Take a look at your library(s) you will be surprised at what in it.

I agree with LawB.  Some third party symbols just aren't well designed or have really high surface counts.  Between the Core, Bonus, and Manufacturer catalogs, there's really only a handful of extra things that I have had to import and keep in my User Catalog.
