New to AC3D from Sketchup

Hello,

I was modeling some X-Plane scenes several years ago on Sketchup. It seems that their pricing model is not for me anymore (700$!)

Therefore i tried again Blender and almost rejected it. Terrible user experience.

And I found AC3D which looks very promising to replace Sketchup.

However, after loading one of my X-plane object, I cannot put a different texture on 2 opposite surfaces. The weird thing is that it works for almost all walls but not one.

When i ask to show Normals, on the problematic object (bended wall), normals are only on one side.

Does someone have any clue. I really want to buy this software at the end of the trial.

On a side note, another (small) problem is that the plugin can't handle LIGHT_SPILL_CUSTOM

Best,
Chris
