**Tips** for uploading

* There's a **size limitation** of 30x30m, so make sure to scale it after uploading if you need to
* Make sure your SketchUp models are **as clean as possible**
* **Make sure that there is not a backward surface in the model**, otherwise, it will be missing once it's uploaded
* **Roofs and ceilings** are independent components
* SketchUp **texture sets** can be recognized in Coohom
* **Turn on the sunlight** for exterior rendering, as the lighting will be low by default
