Textures on model from Sketchup, incorrectly placed on SL.

[Katrina Schilling]

The textures on certain .dae models I import from skechup look wrongly mapped. How can I fix this?

 The texture on the model in Sketchup look perfect, but when I import it into SL, the model preview shows the texture placed incorrectly on each face of the model.

Last I looked at Sketchup, it has no UV mapping tools.  It automatically creates the UV layout as you go, which makes texturing a nightmare.  (It also automates topology, which sends your poly count through the roof, but that's another subject.)

To fix the problem, bring the model into a proper modeling program (Blender, Maya, Max, etc.) or a stand-alone UV mapping program (DeepUV, Unfold3D, UVLayout, etc.), and give it a proper UV map, so your textures will fit.
