Lighting problem

I'm having a problem lighting this plant. Below is how it looks in model design mode

And then when I go to render preview it shows some of the leaves as black

Even when I rotate the light 180 degrees the black stays the same.

The leaves are all the same material. I put an all green decal on one leaf and it was also applied to all the other leaves. Even when I get rid of the sunlight and just use environmental light the black still shows up in the render even though I can see the green leaf texture fine in design mode. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

    Black objects usually mean there's a problem in the model normals or UVs.  I'd have to see the model itself to tell unfortunately.  You can use the Contact Support button on our Feedback portal to submit a 1-1 ticket with attachments.  Or you can attach here as a share d link to CC Files, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.

    Oops, sorry.  I need the .obj file you imported, not the .dn scene.  We don't have an export option in Dimension yet, so can't extract the .obj.
