I am assuming that it is a setting in Sketchup causing this but I am finding that all imports from Sketchup remain white in Rhino and seem to refuse to change colour when directed. Any help would be much appreciated.
Hi Jake -
Just guessing here since you didn’t provide a file. Does RemovePerFaceColors do any good?

Here’s the file. I couldn’t make RemovePerFaceColours work. Many thanks.

Hi Jake,
You have a couple blocks with curves in them. The blocks are on layer 0 and the contents are on 0 as well and set to be by Parent.
Did you upload the correct file?
Yes it is the correct file. There should be 2 shapes similar to the one that you display. Thanks for your time.
What is the objective (how do you want to control the colors)
by parent means you can change the blocks to various layers to get the subobjects to change.
Top Level Block, Child Blocks (by layer), child block geometry (by parent)
I am not used to using blocks unfortunately. I just want to see the import so that I can use it within a plan. Whilst it remains white it is invisible. Is there a simple way of changing the colour of the top level block so that it all changes to the same colour?
Currently the Child blocks are by Layer, changing to By Parent would allow you to control via the Top Level Block Layer
How many of these do you have?
The blocks would have been created by Sketchup? I haven’t knowingly created any for this item.
Most likely this happened on your export from Sketchup.
Here’s a script you can run that will change the contents of the block to be by Parent.
Thanks for your help.
