Hi;

I get ifc output from SketchUp.

Although the materials look normal, they are not displayed properly when I read them with Fme.

Hello @ssisman06​ , thanks for posting! Hm... I know the IFC Reader doesn't support textures yet, but it looks like you're only applying colour here? I'd imagine FME would be able to read this properly, would it be possible for you to share a sample IFC file? Best, Kailin.

Hello @ssisman06​ , thanks for sharing! There is very basic colour information wihtin your file, but FME does appear to be reading everything correctly. I have a feeling the IFC export from Sketchup isn't neccessarily producing what you'd expect. I only saw one beige colour for everything:

Have you considered reading in your sketchup data, opposed to exporting it as an IFC?
