Hi to the devs team.
I found a very critical bug which causes some textures not being rendered if applied to groups/components instead of faces.
Please fix this behaviour!!! Thanks a lot!
Enscape 2.7 issue with textured groups/components

Hey pibuz , thank you for the feedback!
I can confirm I haven't been able to see the texture you've applied on the component in your example. However, new components that I've created and applied materials with textures to were rendered properly.
Can you tell me how exactly you've applied the material to this component, so I can try to reproduce this from scratch?

Hi pibuz ,
I feel like I've done exactly what you recommended, but I haven't been able to reproduce the issue with a texture not showing up. If you'd like to check, I have recorded the process here: https://we.tl/t-JEz7zQ2H9S
Can you point out if I'm doing something wrong?
Maybe we could also setup a webmeeting if you want to show me your workflow directly. You can setup a meeting here: https://www.meetme.so/enscape

Oh, I figured it out. The texture coordinates in the Enscape material editor are behaving weirdly - when switching the texture scale from 19 meters width to 1 meter, you can see the texture - but there's something behaving inconsistently. I'm checking further and letting you know.

Maybe it's this! Thanks for having tested it!
BTW in my experience the texture applied to the group doesnt show up at all, it's not that it's scaled or anything else...

Alright, got it. Apparently Enscape is currently applying the texture in a face by face manner, rather than on the complete model. I will forward this to product management right away. Thank you for pointing this out!

It was seemingly not showing up for you because the 19 meter scale started with every new face anew. No faces were close to wide enough to show the first letters, that's all. You can check that by using a texture with a different color, for example. The object will appear in that color. The letters were simply out of range.

Hi again!
I watched your video but it seems like you actually didn't do everything as I did. You took a checker texture and did not make a fitting texture. Don't know if this would affect the behavior, but it's worth a try.
Also, your checker texture itself is acting weird: being a cylinder you should get a perfectly mapped texture, but I don't know why.
Try making the two textures!
I didn't adapt the scale because it shouldn't matter whether a texture is displayed or not. In your case it didn't - the texture was displayed, it just started over and over again.
My checker texture is behaving fine, by the way. That's just the pattern that results if the checker texture is not tiled - all the corners are black. Not a problem in this case.

However, just one more question for me better understanding this issue: Why do you remove the material from being applied to the face, and then apply it to the component again? Where's the benefit in that?

oh I see! Thanks!

The benefit is when you work with Dynamic Components, since you can assign different textures to the same geometry and have a different result in render, but same result in the report.

Kaj Burival I can provide some insight on this for sketchup. In sketchup the preferred way to apply materials is at the group/component level, and leave faces with a "default" material. The reason is that sketchup automatically propagates the top level materials to any sub-groups/sub-components, and then to faces, which have a "default" material applied. This is a very powerful feature in sketchup. One can apply different materials to the top level of a component and create different looks for the same component. It is also just a quick way to change materials of a group without having to drill down to the faces, make a selection, etc..
