HI
Have you seen if they have the same color, it seems to me one is clearer than the other.
See if you put the same name on the texture
Then if it’s not that Explode the material object, but know that you have to size it based on the brick, then synchronize
I hope I have helped you :smiling_face: :smiling_face: :smiling_face:

PS: Did you know that you can adjust color and brightness in SketchUp and eventually sync

Thanks for your responce.

Like i said, the material is the same in sketchup (since those bricks are the same component), and thereafter the material is the same in d5.

I tried exploding the geometry of all bricks, that nearly crashed sketchup, when it finally exploded and I synched the model into d5, nothing changed, material still looks different.

I’ve had the same issue before, on different version of d5 and on different computer.
This must be some sort of a bug.

Try giving a different name to the material and adjust the color or brightness from SketchUp and then synchronize it, I know it’s a job that takes longer but if you divide the material you see series you can manage it this way :smiling_face: :smiling_face: :smiling_face:

But tell me if you did a test render and if the material is the same on the program screen
Let me know :smiling_face: :smiling_face: :smiling_face:

I’ve tried renaming material in sketchup, that predictably canceled out adjustments that I made to material inside d5. Thats when I realized that the difference in apperance of the material came about because of the normal map that I add in d5.

That still dosen’t explain the reason for the differance in shade for the exact same component. But at least now i know that normal map is what causes it

So, if someone is interested, here is the solution:
Changing “Color Space Transfer Function” for a Normal map from Linear to sRGB fixed the problem.

I like your tenacity, so one must be in this work, which I love, intuitive. And tackling the problem in an imaginative way, which in the end you can find the solution is to learn new ways. :clap: :clap: :grinning: :grinning: :grinning:

Hi shvartsman.mikhail
I had the same problem as you, and nothing worked until i did some experimenting and found this fix. The sketchup plane was in reverse!
Simply right click the troublesome plane, reverse faces, and reapply your material.
Let me know if this worked for you OP.
