      I have been using sketchup(free version) on a pc for while now but recently switched to a mac. For the life of me I can't figue out how to scale materials. On the pc version I could paint a wall with any material and then scale. Like make the bricks on a brick wall larger. I hope I'm explaining this ok. Any help would be appreciated.

        Hi dmr,

        I'm a PC user so I'm not sure but it seems that if you double click on a material in the browser, you should be able to edit it - including its width/height. See the user guide for details:

        (scroll down to almost the bottom).

          Thanks for the link Gaieus. When I get home from work I will give this a try. I swear I have tried this before but it wouldn't surprise me if I missed it πŸ˜’. Thanks again
