To start off - you can find the materials by looking on the right hand side of the page at the little icon with the box on it.
Clicking on this will bring up the materials window.
In model on the left, more advanced library on the right.
2 different kinds of materials in SketchUp - colors, and textures. Color is just a simple color. A texture is a repeating image.
Apply by selecting a material and clicking on an object. Notice that materials can be applied both to raw geometry, or actual faces, as well as to the outside of groups or components. If you apply to the outside of a group or a component, every object in the group will get the material applied to it. Very helpful, but be careful.
Note that materials can also have a transparency applied to them. The glass materials have this already - you can also adjust by going into the material settings, so if you wanted to create your own glass material, you could.
Removing Materials - go into the entity info and click the little x
Editing texture size - select material in the “in model” section, then click the button for edit
- Can adjust size
- Can position using “position texture”
- Can adjust opacity
- Can upload your own materials

Hi everyone - let me know if you have any questions in the comments below!

@Thesketchupessentials 4 года назад

This seems like an excellent question to type into your search engine of choice...

@Thesketchupessentials 4 года назад

@ahmed albrens Seriously? You typed in "how to learn interior design" and the internet gave you ZERO results?

@ivanjohansen3888 4 года назад

When i try to apply a material to a face, the finished result is only the colour without the textures of for example brick, how so?

@forfun4570 3 года назад

i just wanna ask about the beginning of this video that we could find this house example in 3D warehouse or did u make it up already? Or is there any link i could download to start with? thank you

@haydn9196 11 месяцев назад

just dropping in to say ive been following along and enjoying........... 3 years later. a lot of good tips and tricks for beginners in here. as an experienced beginner at many things, this is relatively simple to follow along. at first I thought your house was on a raised trapezoid and was recreating that to begin. Spent 30 unashamed mins getting things situated with my trapezoid and fence to follow along jut to realize it was a large flat rectangle on the x axis thanks man'

@d.j.radioroyspinner8 2 года назад

Hi I just started using Sketchup Online as I use Linux OS and Sketchup hasn't been designed for Linux yet - anyway I do TY for a very detailed course on Sketchup and am learning a lot from the way you teach. TY again.

@iandraper3051 Месяц назад

Great presentation Justin. Very easy to understand for a beginner. Unfortunately the Free Version is not as flexible as it was when this RU-vid was created. Editing of materials is no longer available in the free version.

@jamiew4851 2 года назад

Great video! have a question about the fence. What is the dimension of the wall of the fence pull off so when you apply the materials of the fence, it will see through the fence to the house / floor ? Thanks!

@nelsysmarcano4030 2 года назад

now you have to upgrade to edit the material :( sad

@SafiraWulfsberg-Gesmundo Год назад

Hey Justin! Love your videos- quick question. After making an item a component and then moving the copy and using the divide tool to create multiple copies at an equal distance between two points, it seems to lock the items and I am unable to use push/pull and other tools to change the objects. Do component objects need to be edited before using the divide ("/5") function?

@cindyguerra7926 4 года назад

My Sketchup Free doesn't allow me to use the edit materials function. Do you know why this may be? I would like a way to resize a texture but I'm unable to through the Materials menu. I can if I do Texture > Position but I have to eyeball the size rather than it be an exact.

@aronm9919 4 года назад

Wow thanks so much for this, I absolutely love your lessons

Hi, I am using the 2021 free trail and following you on on how to used it , thanks for your time I have a question, I couldn't find the right tools box that has materials and extra how I can find it?

@erickanson4996 4 года назад

Edit material requires upgrade :(

@bellaggio1770 3 года назад

Yeah I noticed too, impossible to edit in the free version.

@kaylaassy9225 2 года назад

What if the texture doesnt show up and instead it shows a colour, for example I tried to add the grass texture but it just appeared with the green colour, do I need to change a setting or do you have any other suggestions?

@SuperDave4x4 4 года назад

What if your material, for example shingles, come in the wrong direction. Can you rotate it? I didn't see that option when you were editing the size.

@andycorb 4 года назад

Hey Justin, great videos. Seriously I was lost before this series. Only comment is that in this video you edit textures, but unfortunately this feature is not available in the free version of SketchUp as I have just found out when trying it for myself. Keep up the good work :)

@Thesketchupessentials 4 года назад

Hmmm....interesting - maybe I have some kind of a trial going on? Thanks for the heads up!

@gburasp502 4 года назад

the same, also i couldn`t edit materials or add my, so free web version is very limited

@octanekoh9462 4 года назад

@@Thesketchupessentials in this case, for the FREE version users, how do you suggest we can find a alternative to layering and grouping as both are useful functions to avoid a lot of headaches.

@rivforest2395 2 года назад

thanks for making this video, I learnt a lot. In 2022, the edit material is no longer available on the free web version, if you click on the edit button, you get a prompt to upgrade.

@webtutorials4279 2 года назад

Yes brother, I am facing the same problem. (24-June-2022)

@jenyaparvanova Год назад

A question - would SketchUp help me out with being able to calculate how many rows of tiles with certain size, and certain grout size would I need for a bathroom wall for example so this way I won't have to face the situation where we will have to cut the top or bottom row of the tiles? The grout is what bothers me the most, since you have shown us how to edit and resize certain materials but would I be able to set them out on a distance somehow so I can include the tile grout in the calculations? Thank you for everything you do! These videos are amazing!

@paruljain1719 4 года назад

Hi can u pls explain full toolbars in ur vedio like shadows, layers and all of these

@amazingepoxycreations417 4 года назад

Great videos! I have one question - when I enter measurements, it does not seem to place the items on the outside edge of the measurements. For example, if I draw a 2x4, then copy it, and enter 30" for the depth, then come back and measure it with the ruler, it says 2' 7". Driving me nuts! Am I doing something wrong?

@Thesketchupessentials 4 года назад

Sounds like you're setting the wrong base point with the move tool

@scottmcwilliams2204 Месяц назад

Is there a way to change the color of just a line? I have a piping and instrument diagram where I need to color code hot water, cold water and electrical runs with different colors.

@henokabeje3311 Год назад

Hello, i really appreciate your explanation, that is so perfect. But when I am trying to edit the materials it's asking me to upgrade. So how I can get this point? Thanks

@oscydog100 4 года назад

Hi Justin, always great videos and have followed you for the past 2 years.Im running the free 2016 version of Sketchup and have also downloaded the Unreal Endgine programme which is great.What version of Sketchup Free are you using in this video and is it better than what I'm currently using which is the 2016 version ?Thanks Aaron

@Thesketchupessentials 4 года назад

It doesn't allow extensions, so if you're using a datasmith extension, you're going to want to stay with the desktop version

@321jimh 2 года назад

Hi Justin, Thanks so much for your videos! Really! However I do have a question. This video shows you editing certain properties of materials, such as color and transparency using Online Fee Sketchup.. However when I try to do this the Sketch Online software won't let me, and instead encourages me to upgrade my subscription to a paid version so I can edit materials. Is this maybe something that has changed since you made this video, or am I doing something wrong? Jim : )

@Thesketchupessentials 2 года назад

Unfortunately when I made this video I was on a trial version of the Shop version and didn't know it at the time (I never got a notice about being on a trial or anything). You are correct, some of the material features are paid version features.

@stianazarov9465 2 года назад

Can u show us step by step how u made all this? I've watched episode two but u didn't add floor there or a fence and idk how to add on top of materials

@GadgetAddicted 4 года назад

Hi! One thing I'm confused about is how you created the face around the home without offsetting it first. I created a rectangle where the fence is supposed to go (around the house) and tried using the push/pull tool but couldn't pull it up because it was just a line. I had to offset it and then pull it up which defeats the purpose because the fence is not see-through. I see that you've somehow pulled the line up....HOW???

@ChrisSchroth 4 года назад

Hello Saad. Create a rectangle on the axis you want the 'fence' to be, in other words, a vertical rectangle on the axis where your fence will be (red or blue). Push/pull will not work, as you do not want any depth, you just want a surface to place the fence image on. Does that help?

@heikegauglitz2992 4 года назад

Hi, great video series, and also this one on using materials in sketchup free. Any idea why i can't edit a colour to make it transparent. It asks me to upgrade when I click on the edit button to change the opacity...?

@brooksy1326 4 года назад

I am having the same issue. Perhaps Sketchup free changed the access to this feature recently. @TheSketchUpEssentials - Justin, do you know if this is this the case or is it perhaps that we are doing something wrong?

@starbloke2000 2 года назад

Thanks for the Sketchup Free Lessons! However, I'm using the web version but I'm not allowed to edit textures: the edit button is "greyed out". The only solution offered within Sketchup appears to be to upgrade to a paid version... has something changed since you prepared the lesson?

@Thesketchupessentials 2 года назад

No - it had me on the free trial of the paid version and didn't notify me of that when I was making the video - texture editing is a paid feature

Apparently now you have to pay to edit textures. Stupid and disappointing. That's literally the only paid feature I need, so there's no way I'm paying for an expensive subscription! I hate that companies keep hiding BASIC features behind a paywall. Especially a subscription instead of a one-time fee. This is a BASIC feature!
