2017 how to import image
-
Hi guys, I am trying to import a Jpeg into Sketchup 2017. As a default it seems 2017 imports it as a texture only. Can I import a Jpeg into 2017?
My experience with 2017 makes me think Sketchup is not in good hands.

On the import dialog, change the Use Image As option to suit.
Not to mention you can drag and drop images.

Liam, hope you in good hands. Why not just drag'n'grop things in su window?
-
Thanks guys I think I am one of those people that are no very open to change. Drag and drop

Nothing has changed.
You obviously ticked that option at some point in your last version, it then remembers your choice. -
It might be an installation issue...
If you have set the SketchUp.exe file's properties to always 'run as administrator' [or you right-click it and 'run as administrator'] this can mask issues which resulted from an incorrect installation initially [see later].
The downside of setting SketchUp this way is that you then prevent Image drag'n'drop.
Windows Explorer always runs at the base level of permissions.
Elevating SketchUp's permissions above that then causes an issue.
Windows does not allow an application to affect another application running at a higher level.
So drag'n'drop no longer works !
Change the setting[s] and drag'n'drop should work once again...SketchUp needs to be installed properly.
Select the SketchUp installer's exe file, and right-click > context-menu > 'Run as administrator'
This will ensure it installs and then runs properly later on.
Being the admin, or having admin powers, is not the same as running it 'properly'...If you already have SketchUp installed you probably don't need to reinstall it from scratch.
Close SketchUp, then run the installer as administrator as outlined above.
When prompted choose 'Repair'.
When SketchUp restarts all should be correct.
Any Plugins etc should be remembered as before...If you still have problems try uninstalling and immediately reinstalling - running as admin etc...
