Hello My name is Maurice, and that’s three months I use Sketchup Pro 2015 and Thearender. I started making packaging and I have problems when I import textures on my models. Let me explain, I do first, an import template to calibrate my image. When she appears in my field window and I paint my model, this one is completely destructured.
Is anyone have an idea where the problem comes. This happens as well with .png files or jepeg.

Thank you in advance for your advice
Best regards from Paris, and Very good weekend to all
If you paint more than one face and they are not coplanar, then the texture gets destructured .
A way of applying it is to project the texture over the surface or install some plugins as Thrupaint or SKETCUV mapping tools(commercial one-if I remember well).
Maybe you can upload a printscreen to show us exactly what your are having problems with.
Ely862me Hello and thank you for your return. Here are some screenshot as you suggested me.

I have studied this tutorial and it is with this method that I apply my textures,
but it does not change, even on other half to.

I believe your problem is that you are trying to apply the texture over the group not directly over the surface.
As you can see I split the surface in two for the back and the front, and I applied the projected textures. I used the scale to have a clear texture over the entire surface and also I scaled with -1 to have the texture applied in the right direction.
Dear ely862me,
Thank you for this demonstration. I followed your instructions, I made 2 parts, but I still the same
problem. I beginning to wonder if there would have been a bug in the installation. > Please see attaached file.Prt_Sreen_3.pdf (72.8 KB)
Thanks in advance
I am asking to see the SKP file with your results of applying the material AFTER following ely862me’s directions. From your PDF it doesn’t look like you followed them correctly.
By looking at the skp you provided, the initial state of the texture is NOT in “Projected” mode.
See below to set the texture to “Projected” and then try it again. REMEMBER to re-sample the corrected texture first and then apply to the model.
You texture is set to projected while applied to a flat face of the correct size, then you re sample and apply it to a surface of raw geometry (not the outside of a group or component?
Upload the .skp file that fails for you so we can see what you have going on.
Ouch 141 mb? What’s in this thing? And why is it autosaved autosave autosave, you have crashed at least three times and are running off the autosaved file each time without saving a fresh file? I’m looking now. What texture is not working for you?
Model info> Statistics> purge unused dropped the file to 54 Mb in one click.
Are You trying to get the upper image onto the lower terrain geometry as I have done in this screenshot? It’s not applying correctly because you are sampling the projected texture and applying it to the outside of the terrain which is a group. To get the texture to map correctly you need to open the group for editing and apply it to the raw geometry inside the group.
