> Trying to create your own custom floor or tiling? With SketchUp, you can import almost any image and use it as a material or texture in your model.

When you import make sure that you’re importing as a texture, you’re importing it as an image.

I also noticed that you reversed faces like Aaron did on the video, but if you looked well he did it because that tutorial was made in 2019, when he draw a rectangle the faces were reversed, this was changed in 2022, now when you draw a rectangle the faces are well oriented, you must apply textures only to white faces, not the blue ones (in most cases)

One of your selected materials needs to be a ‘Texture’. Simple colours won’t have the option, for some strange reason.
