Error -- imported new furniture, now every texture is the same!
I have been working on a blueprint for some time. I imported some new 3D models from the site and used them without issue. Then, after restarting my computer one day and reopening SW3D, every single object in the 2D view has the same texture! Strangely, it looks correct in the 3D view. The models also appear correct in the furniture window. I did have that motorcycle model in the blueprint, but deleting that model from my plan and save/restart did not fix this issue.

Strange, you might have a corrupted project file but try if this fixes the issue:
First make a backup copy of your .sh3d project file.
Open your original project. In the Preferences dialog (Menu > File > Preferences) there is an item "Furniture icons in plan". Switch that to the other setting, save your project and close it. Reopen the project and switch back the setting in the Preferences dialog and see if it is fixed.

Updates:
Strangely I did manage to temporarily fix it before attempting that during the process of making sure I had a backup copy of my project file per your advice. I noticed I had a previous project and, on a whim, I ended up opening it to see if the texture issue was there as well. It was not, so I then reopened the above problem project and it was fixed.
But to make it stranger, when I closed and reopened, then the issue was back AND in that other project. But your (Keet's - thank you!) suggestion (swap the furniture icons viewing) did solve the issue, albeit temporarily, in both.
I say temporarily because when reopening another time I actually got a different repeated texture issue. And now that seems to occur each time I freshly open it (i.e., it now picks a random texture to use for every single piece of furniture). And the toggling furniture command would no longer work.
I then just went and uninstalled SH3D entirely. I then reinstalled (without adding any additional furniture libraries) and it appears to be working (fingers crossed).

The libraries from the 3D model download page and dodecagon.nl should all be safe to import and not cause any problems. It's more likely that one individually imported model from an other external site caused something to break.
