Paint bucket not working

Hi, I’m having an issue using my paint bucket. It is not working. Does anyone know why? Thanks :slight_smile:

What do you mean it isn’t working? Does it appear when you click on the Paint Buck tool?

Hi,

No it doesn’t appear at all. It worked just fine on my last project I was working on but for some reason its not working now.

Try this. In the SketchUp menu left of File, click on Preferences>Workspace. Then click on the Reset Workspace button. Close Preferences and try the Paint Bucket again.

Ok I did what you suggested and it didn’t work. I went back to the 1st project and tried it there and it did work in that one.

That’s odd. It shouldn’t be a model specific thing. Have you tried quitting SketchUp and restarting?

I got it! I clicked on one of the style icons and it showed all the colors that I was trying to paint with. Thank you for your help though. First time using this software. Have a good night. :slight_smile:

Ah ha! Did you click on the Face Style icon for Shaded with Texture?

You have a good night, too.

Yes I think I did. This had me stumped for 2 days! I’m glad it’s fixed. Thank you!

I am an experienced user with the same problem.Using Mac Ventura 13.2.1

when I tried to paint with the black and white tile, this brown color is what resulted. Others appeared grey.

The scale of the material and the scale of the face are not similar.
See here how I can edit the size of the material and produce that colour.

any chance you are in “shaded” mode and not “shaded with textures” ?
because if you apply a material and only a colour appears, either the material is super tiny small, or you’re in shaded mode.

ok, thanks

Hey nab.
The texture was super small. Thanks.
Right now Im pushing a deadline.
Is there anyone available for phone support?

Tried to edit the saturation of the texture using architecture’s editor, no luck. Right clicked on it, to edit texture and opened up photoshop and got this error message:
