I ended up holing up in my hotel room and studying the second day. The pace was far too fast and we covered too much ground. I attended the introductory class in Idaho last summer but fell behind within the first half day and never caught up. I studied architecture in college (not registered) but that was seconds before CADD became common. As a result I plan to use many of Chief's functions and I need to develop a fairly comprehensive understanding of the project. Adding colors and Textures with Materialsįor more information and the videos visit 'm a general contractor focusing primarily on large scale restorations.Sticking a picture or Texture to a face.
Applying Colors, Photos, Materials and Textures.There are many more options that can be done on textures in SketchUp by Skill Builder like: Now use the option Paint Bucket Tool to sample that recent projected texture and apply it to the curved surface. Now Right-click on the imported image and go to Texture > Projected that is important.ħ. Then Right-click on the image and go to Texture > Position for manipulating the texture to make it fixed in the position on the curved surface.Ħ. At first click on the anchor point and then click again to finish the image placement.ĥ. Before clicking on “Import” verify that “Use As Texture” is selected.Ĥ. Then go to File > Import… and browse the image file in the Import dialog box.ģ. At first a simple rectangular face, where the image will be imported has to draw which should match the size of the curved surface.Ģ. The above process is used in the simple surface the second video is about managing a little more complex workflow: projecting textures onto complex surfaces... The step-by-step breakdown of the workflow is described below:ġ. Then go back to View > Hidden Geometry for turning that mode off. The paint Bucket tool is used to sample that texture by the modify key and then apply that texture to the remainder of the curved surface.ĩ. For manipulating the image, right-click on the image and go to Texture > Position.Ĩ. Again click on the top edge of that face for painting the image there.ħ. To position the image in the selected area click once in the bottom edge of the face.Ħ. Before clicking on the “Import” option, verify that “Use As Texture” option is selected.ĥ. Option and then browse the image file in the import dialog box.Ĥ. Then go to View > Hidden Geometry to affirm the polygon breakdown of the curved surface.ģ. To enter Groups or Components double click is necessary.Ģ. At first, the Select tool is used for using the geometry where a texture needs to apply. In the first video, Reilly has demonstrated a step-by-step breakdown of the workflow. For the advanced users of the application of textures on flat faces, he suggest to watch two short videos which demonstrates the process of painting and projecting textures on more complex and curved surfaces. A well-technique wine label is the presentation of a well-textured SketchUp model which allows the user to explore the contents. He is fond of maps so he thought to make a topic on mapping images to curve the surfaces in SketchUp with the use of Skill Builder.Īccording to him, textures or materials have a very important part in SketchUp designs as they can perform the important role of combining the geometry with life. He has a good knowledge in SketchUp designing and labeling and also creating new things. Josh Reilly has become a part of Google SketchUp since 2008 as a SketchUp Trainer and later rejoined with SketchUp Trimble in 2013.
