VWX Textures using DAE or FPX

Question

Hello, I am having difficulty working with simple textures and I would like some help. 
 
 I have an extruded rectangle floor, which has the "Tile Black/White Check RT" texture applied to it in vectorworks, with Perimeter mapping.

Exporting as COLLADA gives me a folder with the texture as a PNG and the DAE file. 
 Importing the Augment Scenic model gives me an error "Could not find all textures" even when pointing at the appropriate folder.

Exporting as FPX shows the texture, but the mapping is a mess

Are you exporting from VW on Windows? This appears to be an issue with how Vectorworks' Windows Collada export is dealing with the / character:

When I export from Mac the file name of the texture is: "Tile Black/White Check RT Color.png" 
 In your export it is: "Tile Black%5CWhite Check RT Color.png"

Unfortunately, simply changing the name of the texture file does not resolve the issue. And looking at the export DAE file in another 3d software gives errors as well.

As a workaround, here is a link to an export of your file from Mac, which you should be able to import: https://www.dropbox.com/s/og7f25jnbflpecp/Floor%20-%20Export%20from%20Mac.zip?dl=0

I'd also assume that copying the texture, renaming to remove the /, and then reapplying the texture, would resolve the issue.
