Curious all that you say is 3D !
Have you scroll this list?

Hi I am new to sketchup, and have been watching many videos to learn how to model, and have learned most of the things i need....

.... but I am having a problem with textures...... I want to import a jpg as a texture, but all the videos on youtube are made on macs, they say "select face - goto file import - import jpg as texture" i get as faer as "goto file import" but i dont have an option to import jpg files... just skp,dwp,dxf.... do i need a plugin or am i doing something wrong?

I am using sketchup pro 7.1 on windows vista
