We are getting somewhere indeed!
So what you're saying is that I have to add a texture to it in Sketchup, and it will automatically create the UV details? Thus allowing me to export and import it into Unity with said texture still applied? Am I understanding your concept?
Edited my original reply for you Rich. I didnt see your post.
Okay - I'm going to try this real simple like.
How do I create a UV map in Sketchup?
And @Rich
A) No.
B)I don't think so..?
C) None. No Mapping at all in Unity.
You guys are missing the point! 
I need to know how to UV map in Sketchup. How do I do that and then export it?
This isn't a Unity problem! This is me trying to learn Sketchup.
Okay, I'll go into EXACT detail if you wish.
It starts in Sketchup looking like this - little to no textures. (Note, this is good - I don't want textures on it UNTIL its in Unity.)
Next - i export it as a COLLADA file and import it into unity. It looks like this:
Then I add the brick texture to one of the houses, and instead of giving me a texture it does this:
NOTE: No matter how close I get to the building, it does not appear. There is no texture there - just a solid color.
So after a bit of research I came across this post from a guy that was having the same problem I was.
...and I assumed that I needed to UV map my object in Sketchup - which I don't know how to do. In fact, I know little to nothing about UV Mapping.
Does this clear things up? What do I do?
I'm not sure what your asking - I can get textures to show up in Sketchup - I need a UV map for Unity. I dunno how to create a UV map.
..so what do I do?
Hello all, I'm new to this little community. So far, I like it. 
Anyway, I have this HUGE city-like structure that I'm building, and I am exporting it in a COLLADA format, and bringing it into the program Unity to code a game with. (I'm an experienced Java and 3D Game coder)
The problem is that I need to put a texture on the different buildings - which are not UV Mapped. What comes up is just a solid color instead of the texture, which isn't good. 
So - How do I make that Solid Color a Texture? I've looked around some forums to see, and their answer was to UV Map it in my modeling program (Sketchup) before bringing it into Unity.
So...how do I do this? Do I need to export the map separately? I'm a complete noob at this stuff, so help me!
