      I am dong a lanscape design over a google earth image I grabed. First I drew a rectangle over the image and colored it a transparent color. Then I drew in a stream using the line tool. I made it a component and tried to give it color but for some reason sketchup won't let me. What am I doing wrong? I drew a wierd shaped polygon but it doesn't seem to have a face for some reason I guess.

          If you can't seem to paint anything, try checking View -> Face Styleand make sure it is set to "Shaded with Textures"

            If you did things in the order you described, the transparent material is applied to the faces and then you tried to apply the water material after you made the component but without opening the component for editing. Materials applied to faces supersede materials applied to components. Open the component for editing and apply the water material to the desired face.
