Perpendicular texturing
-
Hi there everyone!
I'm new here, but i have a along experience with SketchUp.
I have a question regarding how to texture the ground with different bricks layout.
I will explain:I need to recreate this ground cover in sketchup:
I need to color most of the area with a regular brick texture, but i need to create a buffer of perpendicular bricks around each grass polygon:
Problem 1: I don't want to draw and then paint every individual brick (it's a huge and amorphic area) and then roteting the texture for each one...
Problem 2: I just don't know how to do it effective and quick.Please help, SketchUp geniouses!!!

Hi. I am not sure from your profile but you may be using a version that can use plugins. In that case I'd use Fredo's ThruPaint plugin:
In any case the article helps explain how the segmenting of the curved border is important--and there may be other plugins to get the same effects in texturing.
To subdivide the border you may want to look at TIG's SPLIT TOOLS

I have posted on the tool's post - a question on how to get the segmentation right.
Maybe you'll have an insight as well:
