   Hi,

Here’s my box test model in SketchUp. (The above model is the same model unfolded.)



When I export this model to a .dat and open it in LDView, the green side is the top-view, blue is the front view (as expected), and I would expect the right-view to be orange. But I get the red side as the right side.

Here is the right-view in LDView



Any idea how I can translate this on export?

That looks like a correct mapping to me. Unless I’m mistaken the red and orange are on the same sides in both pictures. The unwrapped boxes are definitely identical and unless you’ve moved them in one or the other the whole thing is right.

I agree with Tim. It looks fine to me. If there were any mirroring going on, then either the orange and red would be swapped on the unwrapped box, or the green and grey would be swapped.

The picture in LDView has a rotated camera angle relative to the one in Sketchup, but the geometry remains unchanged.
