Adobe Dimension - Placed Graphic not visible. Please help :)

[Danica5EA1]

Hello everyone!

I have just recently started using Adobe Dimension so if anyone could help me with this issue it will be very much appreciated since I am new at this and struggling to solve the problem.

I wanted to create a Calendar mockup, but when I place any graphic it's just not visible.

Here is a link to the file

Hope someone will open my eyes 😄

Thank you!

It depends on how your object has been created. This object looks a little bit strange. Can you share link from where you dowloaded this model?

[Danica5EA1]

It is created in Sketchup.

I will attach a file.

There are 2 components that intersect.

Please try to export obj format from Sketchup and import it in Dn, I can't opem your skp file in latest version of Dn.

When I import obj file in Dn, it doesn't load well, the object is not the same.

It only loads well for me when I import Sketchup file.

I attached the file on this link, as well as Sketchup file saved as older version (it works while importing to my Dn)

I able to place decal on your object sides in "Kalendar Mockup_obj file imported.dn" after Generating new UV maps in Dimension. But as you can see on some plane sides decal as some artifacts. In depend on how mesh are organize

1.  Open file in Dn
2. Select all object
3. Go to Object Menu and select "Generate UVs"
4. Select object and place decal.

Also try to use Export UV's for correct positioning image.   See video https://youtu.be/jFFqWHD3Q_4

Now I can place the graphic when I apply the step number 3, thank you!

But unfortunately I can't seem to correctly position an image.

I did Export UV's, but this is what I got and it doesn't look good 😕

[Ares Hovhannesyan]

Exported_UV.jpg shows how is object structured and that is the reason that not possible to position decal correctly. I think will be better to create initial object in Dn or with other 3d CAD apps as Blender or Microsoft 3D Builder. You can also now use Adobe Illustrator to export obj file and use it in Dn.
