You guys are great. Thanks for the quick response. You are both correct... Gaieus, for saying that my lab computers are lacking a speedy video card and Ecuadorian for showing me the proper configuration of the Face Style.

That seemed to do it. Thanks for posting the gifs. That made it simple.

Hey folks, I was wondering if you could help me out. I teach technology to middle school students and we are using Sketchup to create Eco-friendly houses. Some of the computers in lab have this weird issue with the paint tool.

When they use the paint tool the color of the texture comes through (transparent)but not the texture itself. Simplified, when a student selects, say, a dark shingle, and clicks on the roof, the roof will be painted transparent gray and not the shingle texture itself. What gives?

I imagine the students changed a setting or something. Any ideas how to correct this?

Thanks
