      Hi all! I'm a beginner still at sketchup but I've watched some tutorials and I'm figuring things out step by step. However, I scanned the web and still can't seem to figure out why the textures aren't showing on a model I'm working on..the face I apply a texture to will only turn to a solid color of the texture (i.e. instead of brick i get some shade of red).
      And yes, SHADED WITH TEXTURES styles view is ON, and what's driving me crazier is that I CAN view textures in all other documents I open, just not this specific one I'm working on. Problem is also apparent in print preview.

      Thanks in advance πŸ˜„

      p.s. using sketchup pro 8 on mac.

        what is the 'scale' of the model v the 'scale' of the texture...

        if you apply a 1inch texture to a one 1 mile face, you'll only see the background color as the texture is tiny...

        Right Click a material on a face and Select 'Texture' >> 'Position' to see if it's tiny...

        learn from the mistakes of others, you may not live long enough to make them all yourself...

          Check your mode...
          View > Face Style >
          If the ' Shaded With Textures' option is checked you should see textures, otherwise the other options dictate what is displayed.
          Your current Style will affect the display-mode...
