      When setting a texture image size in sketchup is this done visually or do you use the jpg original pixel size?

      Thanks in advance

        The pixel size of an image is just a parameter of the camera or image program that created the image; it has nothing to do with reality. I usually note the actual size of the item in the image, draw a rectangle that matches one dimension of the item, and then use File->Import with "Use as Texture" selected. Click one corner of the rectangle and then the diagonally opposite corner and the texture will be created sized to the real dimensions.
