Second issue - which isn't so important as that can be fixed when UVmapping. Just annoying.

As you can see from the image. For an object I create a new shader, set the colour then name that shader. Yet when exported and loaded into UVmapper the material/shader name is changed or not present.  Often if that shape is imported into carrera,then shaded and exported the material/shader name will revert to the original material name that the object had.

So the question is are there any solutions to these within carrera ?

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.
