What objects are you referring to and what is wrong with them?

I am guessing there are supposed to be images of trees on those billboards?

If so, what object is that and do they appear correct in the 3D preview of the object?

I am referring to all the objects (everything was fine before, I don't know what I did to make them look like that). They look like black blocks. Yes, the ones on the picture are trees, and they appear the same in the 3d preview

Erica:

 

Check the Model pane in the Object Settings, it may be set to Override Surfaces. If the Model pane is not visible, go to Work Environment > Tool Schemes > Tool Settings Dialog Boxes > Object Tool and make the Model pane visible, it may be hidden in the default WE.
