      I have tried to add a material to some of the faces in my model and I get the error material [Brick_Antique]" not found. Could someone show me the correct way to assign a material to a face
      for i in 1..10 faces[i].material= "[Brick_Antique]"

        Hi, here is an example;

        model = Sketchup.active_model ;
        ents = model.entities ;
        
        materials = model.materials ;
        m = materials.add "name for material" ;
        texture = m.texture = "c;\\Users\\User\\Desktop\\folder\\texture.jpg" ;  
        m.texture.size = 60 ;
        
        use_texture = true ; #Change to false to use color only
        
        faces = ents.grep(Sketchup;;Face) ;
        
        faces.each do |e|
        
           if use_texture 
              e.material = m
           else
              e.material = [190,190,190] #Use color instead of textures
           end ;
        
        end ; 
        

        Note: By the way there is a Developers forum section which might get you better answers to your questions.

        Cheers!
