Hi Shawb,

OK, got it. The 'Unique Texture' option doesn't appear if you have the 'Face Style' view set to anything other than 'Shaded with Textures'. I had mine set to monochrome.
Makes sense now.

Apologies. I can now play around with this

Hi,

I've taken a look at my model and I'm only selecting one face but the option is missing. I have included a screenshot here.

Thanks.

Hi Shawb,

Sorry to be dumb, there doesn't appear to be any 'make unique texture' options when right-clicking any of the faces on my model.

Hi Shawb,

Brilliant. Thanks for that, exactly what I wanted.

Hi,

Is there anyway to to see the shape of a face when amending its texture? Maybe I've missed something, but when editing a texture in Photoshop you only see the original square texture. I have a wing that I want to amend the texture of and it would be really useful to see the actual wing shape as I do this.

Hope this makes sense.

Regards,

Chris.

Hi,

Thought I'd try some animation in SketchUp so I downloaded some animation plugin from someone called Fredo. Thing is, I haven't a clue about using plugins as there doesn't seem to be any straightforward instructions on how to install them into SketchUp (I tried and I think I've installed it but I can find the menu for it in SketchUp)

Can anyone give me a few pointers here?

Cheers.

Hi,

Sorry, been away from Sketchup for a few years and have forgotten how to resolve the problem outlined below.

After I have made a 'unique texture', opened it in Photoshop and saved the texture, the edited texture isn't then applied to my model in Sketchup. Could this be something to do with where I save the texture to after editing it in Photoshop?

Thanks for listening.

Chredge.

Hi Alan,

Thanks for your >ahem.< 'reply' (isn't it impossible to have anything against scousers?)

Anyway, nah, not got the Build-Edge plugin. However, Sketchup is loading with two renderers, could this have something to do with it? How do I stop the renderers from loading with Sketchup?

Hi,

Hope you can help.

I have been using Sketchup for a few months and everything has been running fine. I have built and textured a model without any problems and I am now dabbling in rendering and lighting.
The problem is, just lately, whenever I create a new material within my scene Sketchup crashes. If I start Sketchup without loading my scene and create a new material everything is fine.
Could it be that something within my scene is stopping me from creating a new material? is there a limit on materials? Could having too many unique textures be a problem?

Cheers,

Hi,

Thanks for your replies.

I've tried hidden and un-hidden.
The model is within a component but I double-click this in order to edit it (is this right?).
There is a mixture of curved and flat faces, I'm attempting to edit a flat face.

I'll attach my model in my next post if you are still stuck for answers.

Cheers,

Ginger_Overlord.
