Thanks for the response.
Yes I know about this method of importing an image, and this is what I've been doing. This works on all the faces on the file I'm working on , except one particular face.
I suspect it could be that I grouped the the house building and it is the door image that will not apply.Ive tried ungrouping but it still has not worked.

Using sketchup to build a 3D model of my home plus gardens.Done the house structure and am trying to import a photo texture for my front door onto the face I've selected, but it will not allow me to. Has that wee no can do symbol on the image import. I can place the same image on any other face , but not the one I want.
If I put a block colour in the face it is graduated.
please helppp!
