Importing OBJ/DAE/3DS files
Hello,

I started using Sweet Home 3D a week or so ago. I created models of my furniture using Wings3D which I want to import into Sweet Home 3D. The two applications share three formats: OBJ, DAE and 3DS. It worked fine for my first piece of furniture, but since then it doesn't work anymore.

OBJ & DAE: Sweet Home 3D says "The format of the chosen model is not supported. Please choose another model".

3DS: The file can be imported, but the materials are wrong. Of five different materials, only two are recognized. If I try to change materials using the dialog in "Modify furniture" > "Color and texture" > "Materials" > "Modify", the same two are shown, but no more.

I am not sure on which side the problem is, Wings3D or Sweet Home 3D. Is it possible to add attachments to a post in this forum to show the problem?
