I took a single image file (a image of tiles) and imported it into SU. I then broke that image into 6 individuals tiles to create a seamless texture. However, now when I select the new tile layout, I can not find combine textures.

I’ve tried a lot but can’t seem to get it. What am I missing here?

How about sharing the .skp file so we can see exactly what you’ve got?

Assuming all the textured faces are in the same context you should be able to select the faces, right click on it and find Combine Textures.

At least one of your materials needs to be a texture.

Tammy Cody has Illuminated This on YouTube. [Create a repeating tile texture in SketchUp - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrOulM2bjwg) We had forgotten about the ‘Combine Textures’. @Tammy, Thank You!
