Learning how to properly position your textures will prove to be a very valuable skill. If you can't get your textures to fit your objects properly your objects will appear patchy and in some cases just plain ugly. This tutorial will show you the proper way to apply positioning to your textures. Sometimes SketchUp will apply them properly for you but I still advise checking manually to be sure.

There are several available options in SketchUp for distorting and positioning textures, this tutorial will give you a brief overview of teh entire process and explain how the pins can be used to achieve teh desired effect.

You will notice in the picture below that I have a normal image but I am aiming to make it appear as if it gets smaller at the right hand side. Your texture should look similar to this.



To adjust your picture/texture right click on the textured face then go to texture>position. Now your screen should look like this.

Now if you move the pins around they will adjust the image. There are 4 different pins that
are used to adjust the picture/texture.

-The red pin is used to position the entire texture (all pins move with the red pin, this does not adjust size only position).
-The green pin is used to scale/rotate (this pin can adjust the size of the texture and the angle).
-The Yellow pin is used to adjust the sides of you picture/texture. This is a way of skewing.
-The Blue pin is used to adjust the top of your picture/texture. This is a way of skewing.

Below is an example of using the yellow pin to skew (click image to view larger version).
