      I'm not sure what's happening but I have this problem a lot. Let's say I make a house and I have made a roof with eaves. I can paint the house and roof faces with no problem but only about 1/2 the eaves will paint. The other ones just won't take paint. Often times if I click on that section, another section of the house will paint instead! I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but it's very frustrating when these simple things waste so much of your time. I haven't imported materials, I'm just using the standard paint selections in Sketchup.

      Any ideas?

      Thanks!

        Turn off your textures (View>Face Style>Monochrome) and see if the problem faces are reversed.

          Hi Mogogirl, hi folks.

          Make sure that you have not smoothed some edges accidentally. If this is the case, applying paint to one face that has some edges smooted will cause the color or texture to be applied also to the faces sharing smoothed edges with this face.

          If not sure, can you post your model by attaching it to a post. You don't need to post the whole model, only the problematic part.

          Just ideas.
