I’ve created a simple room scene in Sketchup to test D5 for the first time. When I apply a D5 material to the floor the material also appears on the external walls. This does not happen if I apply them to the internal walls. I tried re-drawing the floor and giving it a unique layer in sketchup, but the problem happens even then. Any suggestions how to fix the problem? Thank you.
Hi Ricky
It’s simple to try to give names to the textures, one different from the other for everything.
Ex: Paint for the internal wall you give it a texture I have a color with its name ‘White, Green or Red Paint’, for the exterior if you want bricks, you have to give it its name of the texture. You do this for every thing or object, you do it in the materials area at the top right where you can give a name to the material. When you sync it again you will see it will change to D5, try this way. 
Thanks for that. Got it working.
Following on from your tip I now recall seeing a youtube video where the model was painted with bright random colours in skecthup before working in D5. Seems this does the same thing as it gives each surface a unique name. Thanks very much for the help.
