Question About Topic In "Google Sketchup Cookbook"

Section 9.3 of the subject text describes how to “Add Faces To Patch An Image”.

Need more detail in step wise procedure.

             Thanks,

And you think everyone has a copy at home and will search in it to help you? You should ask your question here with all information given to understand your problem…

I think that section is about drawing new lines within a face to create a new face. Then you can move the texture within that face as to hide what was there before.
Their example was drawing a box around a window, moving the texture to the brick part, and then hiding the new edges so it’ll look like a fully brick wall without windows.
But I’m not sure if this is what you’re asking exactly.

Thanks for responding.

Yes, the instructions were to draw a rectangle around the window in the photo.
This was instruction #2.

Instruction #3 is to "Position the material in the rectangle, using either Fixed or Free Pins.

In either mode, click & drag the material itself (don’t drag a pin) slightly to the left or right, so that the face

(of the rectangle) contains only plain bricks (from the adjacent wall), keeping mortar lines aligned"

Question: How do I access the “material”? Where do I capture it?
Or, how do I create the new face?

  Thanks for any step wise detail you might be able to provide.

If the texture is already in the model, you can select it, right click and select Texture: there’ll be a few options for you to play with.
If you need to add a texture: File->Import and you can import any image you have

Just draw new edges around anything, as long as it’s a closed loop on the same plane, it’ll create a new face or separate any current face into a new one for you to modify.

Thanks Cotty.
I moved this topic to the SketchUp Category.
