Problem with mirror-like texture
I am learning to use Sweet Home 3D as well as making my first steps with 3D modeling in general, using Wings 3D to model my furniture.

I would like to model a wardrobe with mirrored doors. I had a look at some of the free files on sweethome3d.com for inspiration. In particular, I used http://www.sweethome3d.com/models/contributions/mirror.zip

I opened up mirror.obj in Wings 3D, used the included mirror.jpg file as well as the exact same settings for my own file, then exported to a DAE file (I cannot import OBJ files from Wings 3D, see my previous post), and finally imported the resulting file in Sweet Home 3D.

However, the result looks different. The original mirror looks as it should, but on my own model, the mirrored doors are just plain gray.

Can someone help me? I am uploading a screenshot showing the problem as well as an archive containing the models I created:
