Okay I think I got a work around.

I took the (Human Model) Collada file w/textures, that sketchup didn't map the texture to the model and imported it into blender.

I then exported it out of blender as a Collada file, then import that into sketchup and it worked. The texture mapped to the model the way it should.

Here's a render(Rendered using Twilight Render)of the model. Looks pretty good, I just used some basic settings.

I'm going to compare the file and see just how there different in the code.

Nice one Box. 👍

Thanks to Fletch!

Fletch:If it were me, I would render with exact studio lighting I wanted to make my object look best, then render the Alpha Mask and photoshop the sky image background in post-pro.

I used this composting method and it worked great.

Here was a quick test, I need to make some tweaks. But it worked well Thanks!

Tools on Surface by Fredo6 ?

Great idea, but as I stated in my original post I already tried it and it has issues.

I thought the instructions coupled with the illustration were very clear. Hmmm....

It seems pretty straight forward to me to drag the selection box only around what you want to select. I never thought to tell someone that. I guess I'll be adding that to my training program.

"drag the selection box only around what you want to select."

Well technically that is what I did the first time.

I was looking at the entire back side of the sphere and that's what I wanted to select. So I drew the selection box around that.

I didn't realize till later that the example image was looking at the "side" of the sphere.

Oh and this was the model I was doing.
