What do you mean by a screen grab?

Hey guys. So I have made a simple building with Google Earth imagery for the textures. When I go to export this to a 3ds file to bring it into Blender it only exported one of the roof textures with the 3ds. Anyone know why this is?

Yeah I think you may be right about the lighting causing the pink tint. You can adjust the time in the game which causes the sun to rise and set and when its in a certain position the pink tint will go away for a little while. I just don't understand why it only happens to the logo. hmmm...

Oh, the menus looked a little different than mine. Yeah, I cannot figure this pink tint thing out for the life of me. Its definitely frustrating.

This is what it looks like in the game. The hull was originally red so I painted it white but the inside was still red so I figured maybe thats why the logo turned pink but after repainting the inside of the hull white also it still shows up with a pink tint. Very weird and frustrating.

Thanks so much, that video helped a lot!.. The menus were a little different because I have 7 pro but I got it all working. I am however having another problem. I have Auran Trainz simulator and I took the boat and imported the mesh into the game. The white on the coast guard logo turns pink when I use this boat in the game. That has happened before with another coast guard boat model that someone else made that I brought into Trainz. Any ideas?

Ok thanks a lot guys. I have to get to bed for the night but I'm going to give it another shot tomorrow. I'm sorry if this is getting annoying or I'm being a pain in the @$$. This is why I left my original post on the Noob forum. I'll let you guys know how I make out. Thanks again.

So after I push/pull the rectangle where the logo is placed, intersect with model and delete the excess, then I cut the frame and paste in place? It still doesn't seem to be working. You said edit hull. What did you mean by that? I must be doing something wrong.

Thanks guys. I have to do some things today but I'm going to give it another shot a little later and I'll let you know how I make out. I appreciate the help.

Ok, here it is. Thanks

here it is

I could send the model if you want. I'm not sure what that means is the hull grouped. I didn't make the model.

ok, so I got paint bucket to work but as you can see, I cannot get it to select just the rectangle. The logo is however positioned nicely inside it but the also on the rest of the hull.

After push/pulling into the hull and deleting the unneeded parts this is what I am left with. I have a nicely positioned rectangle on the hull where the logo should be but it won't let me place it with the paint bucket or import image as texture option and positioning manually as you can see in the picture. Any ideas?

I have seen that tutorial video and it didn't help me too much. I don't know if its just me and my lack of skills but...Yes my geometry is off but I still end up with one triangle painted when I import and position the texture. Am I supposed to import as a picture or texture? And what did you mean by is my hull grouped? I'm very "dumb" still when it comes to this.

hmm...I don't know if I'm doing it wrong but I get as far as push/pull the rectangle and deleting the excess and then I'm left with a rectangle left on the hull but It won't let me apply texture to it.

Did you post a link? I didn't see one. Thanks.

Hello, I am very new to sketchup and I have a boat model I downloaded. Its plain in color but I'd like to give it a U.S. Coast Guard paint scheme. I need to add the Coast Guard logo to the hull. How do I go about doing this due to the fact there are a lot of angles on the hull? Keep in mind I'm a Noob so I might need it explained in detail. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys and girls.
