Import and apply custom texture

- [Instructor] Although SketchUp provides us…with a library of textures,…sometimes it can be helpful…to bring in a texture from an external source,…maybe we have a very specific material…that we're specifying…in a project or maybe we're just not happy…with the options that SketchUp is providing.…So, in that case, we'll need to bring in a image…and to do that,…we're going to import it…but first I need to make sure…that I have access to the face…that I am applying it to.…So, I need to make sure that I'm double clicked…into the group, in this case,…I'm going to apply a siding material to this building,…so I'm going to double click using my select tool…and make sure that I have access…to the faces and edges…and I do, so I'm going to go ahead and import it.…

And to do that, I'll do to File,…Import, and once you find your texture image,…you need to make sure that you have access to it.…In this case, mine is grayed out,…so under Format, I need to change it from SketchUp Files…to either JPEG or simply All Supported Image Types.…
