Hi, Long time lurker, first time caller. I’m designing a circular floor. I have the wood grain texture that I want to use on the floor but for the life of me can’t figure out a way to make the grain of the wood follow the curve of the circle. I can’t be the first person ever to want to accomplis…

make a pie section as component, so its adjustable globally and copy it around perhaps, hide the edges so it looks seamless. [circular%20wood%20texture]

SketchUp has no facility to distort an image to make something like woodgrain appear to bend in a circle on a floor or whatever. Since a texture is only an image, you could make a wood grain texture in an image editor with what amounts to concentric rings. In reality, a wood floor isn’t likely to be…

Gah! of course! I came close… I turned on hidden geometry at one point for a different part of the model and saw wedges in the geometry of the circle. Because I wasn’t concentrating on the floor at that moment, it didn’t occur to me to use them (or create my own personally-sized wedge) as a mean…

Hi there. I have been trying to do something similar. I need to map concentric pavers in a circular pattern. Any help? I’m attaching the image here… [cascade-blend-concrete-pavers-pv060odcrcam-64_1000]

Divide the face into separate"pavers"and texture the faces or create an image of the circular paver area in an image editor and import that as a texture. You added the image while I was typing. You could import that image as a texture.

DaveR. Really appreciate the quick response since I am on a deadline here. Sharing a screenshot here, how do i get rid of the white edges? [image]

Did you import the image as an image or as a texture. Assuming it’s the former, right click on the image and choose Explode. Then draw a circle centered on the pavers and erase the outer edges of the square. End p with something like this. [Screenshot%20-%208_24_2019%20%2C%2012_56_46%20PM]

All hail the SketchUp Sage! Thanks.

…but I have more questions. I just dragged the image into sketchup. If I bring it in as a texture, how do i get rid of the edges? One of the options it gives me when I right click on it is to ‘Use As Material’. Can you please elaborate how that works? How do I change the scale of the pavers?

[image] the scale issue I’m having

As with any image whether you bring it in as an image or as a material, it’ll be rectangular. You could make the white pixels surrounding the pavers transparent and save the image as a PNG. (JPGs do not support transparency.) Or, as I outlined above, apply the texture to a circular face. Mater…

You could use Curviloft and FredoThruPaint plugins, and a seamless texture, for something like this:
