So, I’m coming from Lumion and try out Twinmotion. I’ve tried now both fbx and datasmith, and I’ve tried importing the model based on hiarchy or materials.
I have maybe 20 exterior walls which has one material on the inside, and another on the outside.
If I apply a material to the exterior side, it applies to all the exterior sides, all good
I then apply a different material to the interior, and it applies to all the interior walls, and exterior walls do not change - still all good.
Now, if I should at any point happen to end up applying the same material on the interior and exterior walls, they are suddenly threated as one.. if I now want to apply a unique material on all the exterior walls, I no longer can. applying anything on the exterior will apply it on the interior as well.
If I instead add material based on object, that will not add it to all surfaces that had the same material on import, but only to the one object I selected..
I’m sure this isnt a shortcomming of the software, but me not knowing how I should do it. What is the way to get this right? Sure I could just make sure to never ever apply the same material to two that should end up being seperate - but while trying things out applying the same material is part of that, and I need to be able to go back and forth - Lumion keeps the imported materials(surfaces) unique forever - and I hope to be able to do this here as well
