      Or are you trying to make a 3D object to put on your background like a sign? Something like this?

          Share just the image you are using along with the .skp file with it.

              Where did you get that image. It wasn't supplied with a truly transparen't background. It's a simple matter to select that background and remove it in an image editor, though.

                What software do you use for something like that?

                The only editor I have is Xara Photoand Graphic designer and I do not see that option. I thought I exported it as a transparent ping file but it must not have worked. I guess I could try again or could you help me? πŸ˜ƒ

                  I use PaintDotNet. It's a freeware image editor that is quite powerful. I used the Magic Wand tool to select the background and then pressed Delete. Xara probably has something similar but I don't have any experience with it.

                    @Dave-R I tried to get it but it wanted me to create and account and wanted info that I did not want to supply (like credit card info). Maybe I downloaded the wrong thing. 😞

                      And then here.

                      Maybe just do a little investigation in Xara and see what the process is for making transparent backgrounds.

                          Looks like you clicked on the wrong thing. If it won't go away power your computer off and restart it. Then try again.

                                  @ntxdave if you don't need the full pro Photoshop experience, but you want a free clone (which allows you to follow along most basic Photoshop tutorials) you can also give a try to https://www.photopea.com/

                                  It will work in your browser (kinda like SketchUp free does) and doesn't need an account.
                                  You can also install it locally if you prefer.
