      Tom,

      I made a quick video tutorial which should make this all crystal clear.

      It is fairly large and will take a few moments to download.

      It is located here.

        Are you the cousin of Niki de Saint Phalle? 😉

          Indeed, I always loved those statues and fountain of De Saint Phalle over at the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
          Are those still there?

            Pilou,

            I think Niki de Saint Phalle would have really liked SketchUp and LOVED SdS and FFD.

            There are some interesting videos of her garden in Tuscany here.

            I just read through her Wikipedia page. She was quite the character.

            Thanks for pointing her out!

            Fred

                I am not sure if the big piece is still there, maybe yes 😄

                  Hi Fred, scouring the warehouse i found this little interesting bit of information.

                  http://img7.pictiger.com/775/15558598_th.jpg

                  So...you were a Sketchup nut about 40 years before most of us 😄

                    🤣
                    That's funny.
                    It must have been the age Sketchup was still in black & white. 😄

                      its from when dinosaurs romed the earth! (sorry to all the 38 year olds for making you feel old.)
                      that must've been an error, google has probably fixed it by now. or was that really posted in 1970?

                      suddenly, it's 1970. (car nuts will understand)
                      oh, and LOL.

                        You'd think I would have progressed more in 40 years. 😞

                          Hi _olo,

                          The steps to project a texture are...

                          1. Bring an image into your model and position it as you want relative to your geometry. Be aware that after sampling, the image in essence projects out at 90 degrees from the plane of the image surface.

                          2. Once you have the image where you want it relative to the geometry you want to paint then select the paint bucket tool while holding down the Command key (on a Mac) and click on the image. This samples the image. (If you haven't already exploded the image you will need to do this.)

                          3. Then let go of the Command key (or Windows equivalent) and click on the geometry you want to paint. If the geometry is grouped, or a component, then you want to enter the group/component and select everything you want to paint before painting with the bucket tool.

                          A trick I use is to extrude the image to make sure it completely covers the geometry I want to paint. If it doesn't, use the Scale tool to resize the entire extruded box until it encloses the geometry. The two images below should help make this clearer. The SU file used to make the images, which it too large to upload here, is available at the bottom of

                          Thanks Fbartet. I have done as you talk, and it's very cool.
                          And this is my pic.
