Just the one tip of dragging and dropping an image into sketch to capture it as a material blew my mind. Amazing video. and I love including the mistakes.
Fabulous video on this topic: absolutely one of the best to demonstrate what Sketchup is capable of in the world of texture and sampling. Thanks so much!
Fantastic super-helpful tips! I had no idea you could isolate and download textures in models on the Warehouse. Also, did not know about the colorize option. Thank you! (Already subscribed)
Hi Matt, thanks for the great video. At 2:31 you see the In Model materials . They have a small triangle in the right down corner. What does this mean? A bit later the triangles are gone. Can you axplain?
great tips thankyou... Do you know why when I try to import an image as a texture I can't place it on any surface I just see a no entry sign at mouse cursor? puzzling me :-( I'm trying to apply it to a cylinder, not sure if that's relevant.
Hi Matt - Great video, I just recently bit the bullet and purchased a license for Sketchup Pro 2021 (I've been using Make for years now). I can't figure out why, in Preferences, it shows a path for Materials that points to an empty directory, and when I add a folder of material files there it still doesn't show up in Sketchup. If I put the folder in the ProgramData path (where the canned material folders are) then I can see my custom materials folder. Why does it seem like it doesn't matter at all what you have defined in Preferences?
You have buttons on your toolbar for hiding materials/textures. Where do you find this function? I've searched locally and also extensions. Where can I find this toolbar?
Hi Matt, can I save the materials from 3D library to an existing material folder instead of a separate one? Example: I extract a lot of metal materials only, into a model and then want to add them to the existing metal folder instead of creating a new folder. This would be much better in the long run to stay organized and avoid searching in a bunch of folders with various materials. Thanks in advance and thanks for a great channel.
One somewhat related question I have is how to remove a texture and just have the default white front and blue back face. This is would be very helpful when editing a model that has very dark colored materials
Hi David. If you mean a single texture, then look at the Materials tab and on the right side of this tab at the top you will see three symbols. The third from the top is a square with two triangles inside it, one white and one blue. Click this icon and then you can paint the default material onto any face or group/component. If you mean to keep all textures safe but view the model with only default texture on everything, then right click on the sketchup tool bar in a place where there are no tools, select styles. You will receive a new toolbar. Dock this toolbar and then click within the toolbar on the square with a blue and white triangle-set (same symbol as we have in the materials tab). Now you will see the model with no textures and if you click this icon again, all of your textures are still there where you left them. Does this answer your question?
I'm trying to apply a texture (image) to a multi-faced object, but I want the faces to bend the entire image. It's a plant model and the leaves are bent with multiple faces, but when I apply the picture it applies that picture to every face. Gah!

This was the best tutorial on Skp materials so far. Thanks mate.
Your videos are so easy to understand, thanks for sharing 😊
Hi Matt! Thanks for the tips and yes, a video on seamless textures would be awesome.
Seamless Textures Vid pls. Also, making a new seamless material/texture from a photo if you haven't done already...

Great tips, especially the tips on textures. lost me on a few though. Will need to rewind.

Hi Matt. Thanks for your videos, they are so great. Could you please do a extended video about projecting materials. Best regards.
Hi Matt currently working on a model and your tips are very helpful in completing the design, will practice a few times to get it right
Excellent. Thank you!

Thanks for this info. Is there an easy way to load all materials on a collection folder to the in model materials by not have using the bucket paint?
is there a way to produce SHADED USING TEXTURE but in monochromatic so can produce some elevations in monochromatic
but showing grey scale
Thank you sir
great tips thankyou... Do you know why when I try to import an image as a texture I can't place it on any surface I just see a no entry sign at mouse cursor? puzzling me :-( I'm trying to apply it to a cylinder, not sure if that's relevant.
very good

Awesooome
Really helpful video thanks. (ps are you able to make the videos as seamless as the textures ;-)
when I add a texture using an image, it is showing as material type undefined, which is giving me an error on cut list, how do I solve that?
How to make the tiles themselves 30x60cm or anysize we want?
Hi Matt, can I save the materials from 3D library to an existing material folder instead of a separate one?

when i use the select tool and start to choose different materials, the material name doesn't change automatically why?
how can i delete the default materials that come with sketchup? they are useless
I'm trying to apply a texture (image) to a multi-faced object, but I want the faces to bend the entire image. It's a plant model and the leaves are bent with multiple faces, but when I apply the picture it applies that picture to every face. Gah!
Is that in fact the picture of a paper company???
You don't have to go inside of an object to sample its material, and you even can do it from inside of other objects...
Honestly i thought you are metahuman
Lol!
