Just do what the rest of us do.

Scour the internet for pre made textures. We have links to many sites containing these right here at SCF.
Join Formfonts and download a fantastic collection of components and textures.
Make your own.

There is no magic answer to help you fill your collection instantly. You have to put in the effort and create them. Most people here will have been building their libraries over years.

when you go to this formfonts, and download components and textures, what location do you download them to, on your hard drive.
I have no problem doing this if just told how to proceed, and thanks by the way for the information

ops after looking, i guess that place you recommended charges almost 200 dollars a year for a membership,
I just do this when I am bored for a hobby, I am not a professional
too rich for my blood but thanks very much

Mack, you spent $500 for SU and only use it as a hobby? why?

The main difference between the free and pro versions are that the pro has more export features, and comes with Layout.

What doesn't make sense is that Google removed the SU6 Materials Bonus Pack from their website before the bonus pack for 7 is available. How many months has it been now? How long does it take to assemble a materials pack?

I did not spend 500 on sketchup, i only downloaded the "pro" versions to see if they have the components in them, or the paintbucket surfaces........They dont

I have always used the free versions and been very happy with them, but now my opinion is the free and pro versions are extremely lame, without the surfaces and components so hard to find and download

If you saw some of my designs you might think i was a professional, but those took a LONG time to bang out, but i still saved them all

I thoroughly enjoy SU and puttering around with it designing my next house me and my wife want to build here in the Phils

does anyone have a zip file of the surfaces for paintbucket? the big archive with like 30 to 40 choices per surface

Chris Fullmer · 7 Apr 2009, 06:03

TIG already supplied the full texture pack. If you had more previously, then you got them somewhere else. You should not have deleted your previous version 6 install.

I have merged the two topics (about the same issue).

Try this, taken from my basic SU 6 pro materials.

Unzip to your SU materials folder.

Materials.zip

I believe this is the collection you are referring to.

ubbenholdthekraut · 7 Apr 2009, 13:16

This is the same materials pack that was uploaded on page 1 of the thread.....
(only 10 materials per folder)

Chris Fullmer · 7 Apr 2009, 18:19

Perhaps I'm remembering it wrong, but I thought that that zip file contains all the materials that have shipped with SU in the past. Can anyone confirm that there used to be more?

I'm wondering if you didn't download them from somewhere else and then forget that you had downloaded extra materials. I know at one point I was hosting hundreds and hundreds of materials that I had found on the internet, I just imported them in SU and then had them on my webserver for download until I was threatened to be sued by someone who said they had made one of the textures. Maybe you donloaded something like that, and that is the large texture pack you are remembering?

Hi Chris,
yes I confirm (for my side) that Tig's and Solo's packages were the basic package for SU6.
Never had 40 different textures for stones!
As I use mainly wood textures I've never added other textures in my package. So I'm sure there are only 10 stone textures even in SU6 Pro.

outwest77 · 8 Apr 2009, 08:11

It might not have been 40 for the stones, but it was considerably more than 10 for each of the textures. and I downloaded this with the standard free SU 5 or 6 and then had to download the components packs separately,

I know when I used to go into the textures it was enough textures for each surface to have to scroll down the choices with the scrollbar, and you certainly do not have to scroll down anything with only 10 choices
