Is there a way to keep the UV scale of a sketchup datasmith material after applying a substance material?

For me, applying a different material without the parent skp one makes UVs super small and forces me to go into each one and add a texcord. I know the imported skp materials have options to select the specific diffuse and normals etc, but the ease of Substance was the drag and drop onto my meshes. Any other workaround for this? or a storage of UV data thats compatible between SKP and UE?

This isn’t a bug, its a limitation of the system in the moment. Sketchup and Unreal don’t have the same default units and some of that has an effect on how uvs are baked in the gometry. This problem exists with Revit –> FBX –> Max –> Datasmith as well.

We are looking a how we can support this better in general.

For Substance, there are some improvements that we will work with them besides texture streaming, the issue of creating scale parameters on material instances has came up and they could create those parameters on the fly when importing substances.
