Sketchup Texture Club

  1. Create your material by clicking the Create Material button in the materials tab of the default tray
  2. In the “Texture” section click the little folder button, Browse for Material Image File
  3. Name your material, and click “OK”

Your material is ready to use!

To save it so it can be accessed straight from the Materials Tab:

  1. Adjust the image as you like, right-click the material in the default tray and select “Save As” then put it in a folder you’d like to store your personal materials in (note the file type is set to .skm)
  2. Now click the “Details” button in the Materials tab of the Default Tray, select “Open or create a collection…” then select the folder you created for your custom textures, and voila!!

Click the drop-down menu in the Materials Tab of the Default Tray select the folder you put the textures in and they are ready to use.

Almost everything I’ve downloaded from there hasn’t required the use of any software to extract because its in a zip format not a rar. Right clicking the zip file and selecting “extract all” usually works for me. I also just cut/paste the files from the zip to where i want them. A rar doesn’t let you enter it without some software as far as I know.
