Problem to Import ".obj" Format from tinkercad
Hello Forum,

Im new an my english is not the best.
I hope someone can help.

I need some easy models for Sweet home 3D.
I,ve found tinkercard and Work with the Onlinapp.
Tinker card gives the Option to export as ".obj"

But Sweet home3D answers "can't import this file format"
Whats wrong? What can i do?

System: MacOS 10.11.6
Sweet home 5.3

Hello,
If you use the Mac App Store version, be sure to read the FAQ How can I import 3D models in OBJ, DAE or 3DS format with the Mac App Store version of Sweet Home 3D?
Otherwise, without sharing the OBJ file, it's impossible to guess the issue.

When using Tinkecard, to import OBJ in SH3D I had to
1- unzip the content
2- remove the .mtl
3- rename the include folder to the very same name of the .obj file
4- zip the folder
.. :)

Removing the MTL file will make the model colors.
