problem exporting components

this is driving me crazy
I have tried everything that I could think, but every time I export a model with components (set to glue on the walls)... depending of the wall; the components appear fine or the appear 90* turned
If you see the holes in the right wall, those are the same components from the left wall, only difference is that now they are 90* inside the wall

I believe Pavol's working on it. Until he comes up with a solution, I suggest you keep "Instances" unticked in the export dialog box, even when rendering straight out of SU.

"Instances" unticked does not solve my problem

Well, then I don't know either. Sit back and wait until a solution is found.
Yeah ... I know.

I've requested a sample scene already. In general, the export should have no problems with Instances and hierarchies disabled, there is still problem with instances in certain cases - I am working on that.

This is a new (at least to me) Studio problem. File renders fine when rendering directly from SU. I am working on it with Studio developers.

Pelias,
I just want to confirm that you are right, if I render directly from sketchup... it renders fine (even with the Instances and hierarchies checked)
Yet, studio is extremely important for me... that's where I do my final composition
Older versions of the export-plugin w/ 1.7 work fine though

I found a workaround...
If I disable the Instances and hierarchies , then select everything and make a group... fixes the problem
The problem was that instances with the option "glue to" have a "set plane" that is different from the actual model.
By disabling Instances and hierarchies and putting the all the components inside a group, I forced maxwell to break the components into meshes with the same texture (separate by material option is checked) which forces sketchup to lose the different "set plane" in their components

render form studio
BTW, I just modeled those lamps... I think they give a nice touch!
