It looks like you've made a model in sketchup, textured both sides, and then exported it. However, the face you want to be on the outside of the model is a backface and won't show up when you export the model.

You need to select the whole model in Sketchup, right click and then select 'reverse faces'. This will turn every backface into a surface that actually shows up in 3dRad. You can also do this for individual faces if you need to.

I've attached a little picture to show exactly what I mean. Hope this helps.

georgio123's right that it looks like a backface problem, but if you right click on a white sided face (with the default texture/material) and select "orient faces", it will turn all the backfaces the right way for you.

*Chuckles* I remember when I was still new to sketchup and had this problem until someone on the forum helped me out but I can't remember who it was though.
