Placed image disappears from face. Why?

tfdesign · 6 Oct 2009, 22:34

Can anyone help? This is driving me crazy!

Occasionally when applying a photo (as a texture) to a face, selecting the bottom left hand corner, and dragging up, until I hit the vertex or whatever, sometimes the image will disappear. Why does SketchUp do this? I've got round the problem by simply drawing and identical model next to an existing one, and repeating the sketch until it works.

Hardly productive.

Any suggestions on how to avoid this behaviour?

Is suddenly the image not getting applied to another (neighbouring) face by any chance when it does this?

Hi Gaieus

There is an opposing face, but it has yet to have a texture added. As I said, I had to rebuild the form to get it to work- and interestingly on the rebuild, there was no opposing face. Do you think this is a bug?

edit; I should just say that the image does NOT move to any adjacent face.

Hi

Now it is jumping to adjacent faces!!

Do you no how can I stop this?

Fixed it.

If I extrude the face by a cm or two, then apply the texture, it works. Then using the push/pull tool, push the face back to it's original height/ position.
