importing mtl file
I have obj and mtl files in the same folder. when I try to import both files, it seems sweethome only takes obj file. the couch appears in the library, but with no colors and texture its meant to be. it seems sweethome doesn´t recognize the mtl file.

Re: importing mtl file
It's difficult to help without the OBJ and MTL files. Could you edit the OBJ file with a text editor and write here the line which starts by "mtllib"? Did you use some texture images?

Re: importing mtl file
I have the same issues with my files I downloaded from https://www.cgtrader.com. I am not able to find the exact link but here are some code-snippets (I hope they are helpful). Here are the first lines of my obj.file which has more than 19.000 lines and 13MB (it's a tree).
mtllib OC12_1.mtl # object OC12_1 g OC12_1 v -0.01253 -0.00193 0.00455 v -0.00879 -0.00551 0.01153 v -0.00093 -0.00652 0.01508 v 0.00737 -0.00449 0.01356 v 0.01224 -0.00036 0.00766 v 0.01139 0.00392 0.00015 v 0.00522 0.00636 -0.00546 v -0.00338 0.00581 -0.00654 v -0.01039 0.00254 -0.00259 v -0.01335 -0.00310 0.00381 v -0.00938 -0.00681 0.01131 v -0.00100 -0.00783 0.01514

I also have several tif-files. Both mtl- and obj-files are in the same zip-folder when importing, but colors are not imported. Please help me :) Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I think that tif format is the problem. Try to transform them in jpg and try again.

Re: importing mtl file
Hi, thanks for your reply.
I transformed every tif to jpg but still the same problem that colors are not imported. I now tried several files and I am confused because for some the colors are imported and for some they are not. But I can not figure out what the difference between these files are.
Is there anything I should pay attention to when downloading files?

Re: importing mtl file
No wavefront expert, but in the few lines of .obj file you quote, there is no usemtl (material name) which I believe is the link between the group in the .obj file and corresponding material in the .mtl file.

Re: importing mtl file
I checked the files again and the "usemtl ROOTS2" is included. I also changed the path to the new jpg-files in the mtl-file. Still not working. But anyway thank you so much for your help and tips
Hi,
Very Strange !
Can you put the file to us download it ?
