However I was looking for something more general. Think of a group of 3D letters, e.g. "PETE". If I was to drop a cloth over them, I would not really know how the final image would come out. And even if I did, I would not know how to draw it! I'd like SketchUp to do the job for me... Thanks anyway!

      @alan fraser said: Hans, In answer to your email,yYou can select whether you want go use an image as an image or a texture after you have selected File > Import. The image options re on the right of the dialog box, under the Preview window. You can't divide an image into parts in SketchUp, you can only choose to project the image onto an object that is too small to display it all. If you were then to scale the object bigger, the rest of the image would appear. The method is as I described above...import the image nd scale it to the size of the wall....then explode it, then group it to keep the geometry separate from the next stages. Draw a brick aligned with, for instance, the top left corner of the imported image, group it, then duplicate that group to create the rest of the wall...again lined up with the imported image. You can then sample the image and paint it, brick by brick, onto all of the different groups. Alternatively, you could simply divide the exploded image into many rectangles using the line tool. You can then group each rectangle separately and move them around. I hope this is now clear Thanks Alan. Now is it clear to me. Hans
