How do I add a texture in Sketchup?
-
I know how to add textures from models in the "get models"-library, but what if I have, let´s say a jpeg picture and want to add this to my texture library. How do I do that?
A short step-by-step explanation would be very appreciated. I´m not great at this. Yet.

Here is a good link for that...

-
Choose Import
-
Browse to the folder where your image is placed. Make sure the file extension is selected i.e. .jpg etc...
-
Make sure the "use as texture" option is checked
-
click open
-
Image is ready to be pasted onto surface
Note: If you plan on putting it on a surface in a group or component, make sure you open group or component to edit before you follow the steps above.

4 Explode the imported image
5 Press B to bring the Material window
6 Go to the newly created material(In model materials)
7 Right click/Save as Browse to the Sketchup Material library folder which is found in the Program Files/Sketchup/Sketchup20xx/Materials/(create new folder or choose category)

BTW this is unrelated to V-Ray, as I don't use V-Ray I didn't bother to read the thread until now.
Asking your questions in the most appropriate place will give you a better chance of a quick answer. -
Oh, right. Yes that´s true.
