Problem Model from SketchUp looking wrong in orbiter

[Malky]

Hello all,
I am trying to create my first addon and now I'm at point where I put my simple 3D model into orbiter aaaand... It looks ugly. I can describe what's wrong, so I'll post some images, both from sketchup and Orbiter and hopefully you'll see what's the problem.
If anyone had idea how to solve this, I would be really happy.

This is how it should look like:

And this is how it looks:

Thanks in advance for all answers!

It looks like some of the mesh sides might be reversed/flipped. Since orbiter sees only one side if it is flipped then you see thru it. I have fixed Sketchup meshes. If you send me the mesh I should be able to fix it.

It's easy to do in Sketch Up,simply select face and flip it or select face and oriented faces.
Blue on Sketch Up model is inside side white is for outside.
So to have proper model for Orbiter you need to see only call it white,but default Sketch Up material for outside is lighter than inside in this case bluer material.

I see that you have no mesh smoothing in the Orbiter model. I never used Sketchup so I can't help you with technicalities, but some googling will probably take you a long way otherwise, great model :thumbup:

I reversed faces causing problems and now it looks far better, though still not the way I would like At some places I would need outside face for both sides, so I'll try to llok up some sketchup tutorials. I guess textures willl help a lot also. And I will look to the smoothening thing tommorow, that might help a lot. So for now thank you guys!

otherwise, great model :thumbup:

Thank you, it might be addon one day

What you need to do here is to clone the face you want to be 2-sided and flip the duplicate.
