I’ve updated both Sketchup and V-Ray for my Mac and something has changed. In the Colors panel I used to be able to edit the size of a material with a simple adjustment to the height or width of the imported material, whether it came from Chaos Cosmos or from one I created myself. But now that isn’t available. Either Sketchup or Chaos changed the way materials are edited and I don’t know how to edit them as simply as before. Now I have to open the texture in Photoshop and adjust the size there.
Make sure you have selected the material from the In Model colors. You cannot edit materials that are not in the In Model collection.
Please update your forum profile. It says you’re still using SketchUp 2016.
Dave,
I’m using Sketchup 2023 and the latest version of V-Ray. I’m trying to edit the materials that are in the model already. I used to be able to highlight the material in the Colors Panel and the click “edit”, a window opened with a way to change both the height and width of the material (image of my deck top below showing the panel. Look for the red circle and arrow). Now two slits show up with no way to type in any numbers.

Looks like you just need to make the panel wider so the fields are wide enough to see the dimensions.
You should edit your previous post and remove your contact information. Bots troll forums like this for that info.
Update your forum profile by clicking on the A in the colored circle at the top right of the forum page. Click Preferences, then Profile. Make the corrections and scroll to the bottom to click Save.
Expanding the window fixed the problem. Thank you. Btw, went to “profile” on the forum site and the only think I saw that was personal was my email address and my computer info. I could not change or delete the email address and the computer profile is all old info.
What else do I need to change?

If you click on Profile …
… and scroll down a bit you should see the license type, SketchUp version, and computer information that you can update. This is mine.
Looked at the profile info and this is what it showed, none of this is current. So is this ok to leave as is?
Looks like you need to scroll up a little bit to add the fields above Operating System.
That information helps us help you if it’s correct.
Will do. Thanks.
