I wouldn't put much hope in E-On fixing this problem. I know Vue5I has had the problem - along with Vue4 and Vue4Pro. LW textures (as far as I know) have NEVER been imported properly. I don't think that you will find ANY way to import the objects along with textures into Vue5I.

From what I can see, you have two options:

1. as I said above, create a UV map and bake the texture, or
2. synch LW with Vue which essentially renders LW objects in LW and Vue objects in Vue

For #2, you can use your LW objects as proxy objects in Vue to layer your vegetation and when ready to render, make them invisible or remove them. There is a thread over at Spinquad that clearly illustrates how to do this.

Unfortunately I have had virtually no time to "play" with Vue - the above info was gleaned from other posts on various forums.

Good Luck.
