I frequently need to rotate and scale wood textures on my models BUT the Texture option does not always appear in the right click list… Sometime exploding a grouped item will make it available, but that’s not ideal… Anyone have a workflow/ method for getting this option to always populate? TY [i…

You can see in Entity Info if the sleeted face has a material. If it has no material of its own, SketchUp displays it with the material “inherited” from the parent groups/components. Texture Positioning is only available if the face itself has a material.
