Position Texture tool introduction
Materials within SketchUp are applied as tiled images meaning that the pattern or image will repeat both vertically and horizontally across any entities you paint. Use the Position Texture tool to adjust a material on a surface in a number of ways, including repositioning, resizing, and distorting. Additionally, this tool allows you to perform unique actions on images such as painting a picture around a corner or projecting it on a model. Activate the Position Texture tool from the context menu for a Face entity.
Note: The Position Texture tool can only be used to modify textures applied to flat surfaces. You cannot edit a texture applied to a curved surface as a whole though you can use the View > Hidden Geometry menu item view and edit the texture on the individual faces that make up the curve's face set.
Note: Normally a texture is a subset of a material. However, the terms material and texture are used interchangeably in this topic.
