Problem importing furniture; colors disappear/wrong

[oshkoshbigoshforjosh]

Ok, so now I have gotten to the point where I can import a DAE into SweetHome 3D and it appears totally correct in the new furniture import setup windows but when I go to hit the final button and have it enter the room the actual piece goes all white!

When you download a DAE model, it consists of the DAE file and a separate directory that contains the textures. If you move the file to a different location, you should move the texture directory as well. If you don't do that, you end up with white models.

What does the textures directory look like? I dont see anything which looks like it is the file I am saving it in

You are amazing! I created a new folder to save the DAE file in. When I did so I discovered that a copy of the photograph which I used for the basis of the texturing was saved in that file and that is when it hit me-that the texture files would be external files that the DAE ( and probably OBJ?!?) would access, not that they would have saved within themselves. So then I immediately bundled the DAE with the PNG into a zip and imported the zip and VIOLA!!! Thank you so much for your help today and your patience as I stumble through, thrashing and grabbing everything afloat around me.
