      All,

      Where can I get BASIC beginner info on plug ins. Step by step. I've downloaded the ROUNDCORNER_Dir_23 plugin and the LIBFREDO6_Dir_47 and have no clue what to do. Nothing shows up.. do I need to open something? Thanks!

      Have a look at this article - see if it's of any help: http://www.thomthom.net/thoughts/2012/01/installing-plugins-for-google-sketchup/

      ThomThom,

      Thx but went thu all of the options and none worked. I'm a rank beginner regarding installing stuff and extensions. Perhaps need something easier.

      Also using Mac OS 10.8.2
      SketchUp 8.0.15157

      Didn't try your simple loader, believe that's Windows only?

      As a Newbie there can be a delay for your first few posts - be patient and don't 'double-post' - I've deleted the duplicate...

      There are several posts about making Textures.
      Use the SCF Search tools...
      Put simply... you make a new material in the Materials Browser/Editor and link to a texture-image file on your PC.
      There are many good sources of such images on the www.
      You might have to do some editing of some images in Photoshop or Gimp to get them appropriate.
      There are several tutorials about making textures 'tiling' [aka seamless] - this applies to many apps as well as SketchUp.
      Once you have made a material in your model you can do a save on one or more as a 'collection' - this makes the material in your current model an external SKM file that can then be loaded into any other models, just like the premade SKM materials supplied with SketchUp. A SKM file is a special kind of ZIP archive containing all of the materials definitions in files in an XML format, a thumbnail and if it has a texture a separate copy of the image you have previously added in...

      TIG,

      First, I got it to work.. not easy, but works and I thank you. I used both textures downloaded from cgtextures and ones that I just shot and opened in Photoshop.

      Question: Is there a way to increase or decrease the detail... I've got some tile that's too big and doesn't look right?
      Does changing the resolution and/or size in photoshop work? Or do I need to do something when I shoot the textures? Thx.

      Also, you mentioned SCF Search, what's that... have no clue... googled it with nothing?

    • Create Textures

      All,

      I'm looking for a way to create textures that are not currently in the software. I'm a home remodeler and looking for (or to create) textures for different granite counter tops, and wood cabinets. Would like to have them added to my Texture Pallet so I can add them quickly as needed.

      I can find plenty of photo samples, but don't know how to create them, or is there a place where some can be downloaded? I don't need a perfect match, but would like to be close.

      Also, really want a "seamless" texture so I don't have to piece it together.

      Thanks Much.
