      From time to time I find myself not able to apply colour or textures, no matter if I triple click on component or just to closed component I can't apply colour- It must be a simple proceedure I am missing-any suggestions?

        Very likely it is just the face style you are using. Go to View>Face Style and make sure you have either Shaded or shaded with texture selected before you start applying materials and colors.

        It's a good idea to work in Monochrome style when you are drawing so you can easily keep tabs on reversed faces and correct them as they occur.

          make sure that the correct face style is selected. If you're in "monochrome" stlye, materials won't appear even if they are technically applied to the surface.Capture.JPG

              Is your face style set to monochrome?

              If so try setting it to shaded with textures.

                As with a lot of things in SketchUp, there's usually more than one way to get to the final result. πŸ˜†
