Tim, I just answered my own question (or at least I think I did). I'm using SketchUp 8 for Mac. I can import a picture of a texture directly into the materials dialog box. At the bottom right of the dialog box I click on" color", then on "new texture". This open my "documents" folder where I can locate and click on ay photo I have. It then appears as a new texture in the Materials Dialog box. I can paint the model parts normally. I haven't tried to rotate the pattern yet though. I guess I could first rotate the photo before I import it.

Tim,
I recall a posting sometime back about importing textures and colors. I can't seem to find that posting. I want to create a library of wood types: cherry, maple, oak, etc. Is there a file somewhere that can be imported to the materials library? If not, how can I create those textures from, say a photo?

Thanks
