However, when you export it from sketchup, it creates a folder with your materials, then puts the collada file separately.

I’ve attached two images of what is going on. When I import a model, it looks good during the Interactive Placing but some faces are transparent after I place it.

I’ve tried exporting to different file formats. FBX, DWG, DAE, OBJ and so on. I have never had this issue so any ideas?
