Materials

Use the Paint Bucket tool to apply colors and materials to your model. SketchUp comes with several libraries of materials ready to use. Click the Paint Bucket tool to bring up the Materials Browser. Select the texture by clicking on it, then just click on surfaces in your model you want to apply the texture to.

Textures add additional realism to your models. Remember to add textures to your models before you post them to the 3D Warehouse or view them in Google Earth.
