      Hello helpful people πŸ˜„

      Question of the morning please. I have noticed since moving over to SU 2014, that when I import an image onto a face (usually a rectangle) in SU, that previously it would snap to fit the area, and sometimes the ratio would be wrong and I would have to go back to Photoshop and resize my image to fit and then import it again, but even if the first time the ratio was incorrect and a portion of the image was lost, it still snapped to fit the rectangle.

      Now when I import an image ( and I have to do that ALOT) it snaps to the first corner, but then just keeps going and falls off the rectangle at the other end. I don't understand what I am not doing or what has changed?

      Attached are two examples. The image with David Beckham done in SU 8 worked just fine and snapped as expected. The image with the basketball did not. The larger size is where it ended when released, and the smaller size was the rectangle it was supposed to snap to ??? I am importing as an "image" not a "texture."

      Thank you.

        Good morning!

        Do you have the image set to import as an image or as a texture?

            Aw, shucks. 😳

            Already been up for several hours. Slept late for me, though.

            Hmmm...... Is the face inside a group or component?

            Unfortunately I'm at work and not at a computer with sketchup on it so I can't look to see the behavior i'd get. I might not be so much help at the moment. Sorry. 😞

              Definitely not a crises situation Dave. I was just curious and of course good to know for the future. Checked your bio as I was sure you were in Minnesota and it is very early there to be at work... then saw the Anaesthesia bit. (Spelling - Brit speak) Oh yea... worked myself in a non-clinical area (Well if you call PI/QM and the guardians of JCAHO, now TJC non clinical) of a local health group for fifteen years, so well aware of the medical hours.

              I am always thrilled for your help as I know you will come up with a solution to my stupidity. And on another note... I don't know how much time you have to view television, but there is a new programme on HGTV called Ellen's Design Challenge - Furniture Designer Competition and being a lover of all things design related and not too bad with a chop saw myself, I am hooked. I know you do woodworking, so you might like it, all the usual TV drama aside. And how I babble on... TTFN
