Painting geometry in SketchUp is a snap (thank you, Paint Bucket), but projecting an image onto geometry can be tricky. In this video, Aaron shows how to get an image file perfectly projected onto a sphere!

Very useful. I'm just about to create a load of munitions for a WW2 RAF base and need to paint the labels, so a timely teach in. Thanks from the UK.

Thanks for this one. A topic I would like explored would be intersect with model. I have used this quite a bit but it seems like some items didn't quite intersect correctly and sometimes it worked better to scale the objects, do the intersection, and then scale back to original size. Any topics regarding those items would be great. Thanks

Thanks. The painted-on technique yields a "shine" to the ball, without resorting to rendering. I realize the reflection will rotate with the sphere, in this example, but it's a good "cheat". I'm curious which method yields a lighter model, in general.

Watching this video... can you guys make a graphic tee using this process? Similar to the one Aaron is wearing? And move that graphic around the shirt?

Thank you for this. I have a question: Is there a way to put timestamps with year-hour-min on Layout outputs? It should be very helpful when updating drawings for customers.

There is still an open bug of SKP not bending textures properly across edges that showed itself in the 23 version of SKP but worked in older versions. Colin on the forums has created a bug report and said its been resolved internally but not made its way to the public version.

Really liked this tutorial. I was hoping to hear some Tears For Spheres playing in the background.

Thanks for the video! How did you open pencil toolbar? Or it's just Mac option?

@SketchUp 6 ай бұрын

Just a Mac option...the color palette is driven by the Mac OS rather than SketchUp.

A terrestrial globe! 🌏 would be awesome…. Have put this request in comments before, do the native tools not do this easily?.. cheers, great videos!

@marcellopaniccia3d741 6 ай бұрын

Just stay away from native tools for texturing and use proper tools. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/opiBna-dure6oo0.html

Why is sketchUp no longer available for android? 😢😢I want to use it in a Samsung tablet....

@1369legend 6 ай бұрын

why sketchup is not making dedicated tools for spheres and cubes and... ???

@florinapostoiu 6 ай бұрын

You already have many dedicated tools for multiple 2D and 3D shapes.!

@lisaliberatore3393 Ай бұрын

I followed all your steps but my image won't project or wrap around the entire sphere. It leaves a blank space.

You may need to scale the texture up before projecting. If you still have issues after trying that, you should post on our forum (forums.sketchup.com), where you can provide more information and get a more detailed solution.
