Thanks.

You say that you have to select in "Face" mode, which I take to mean the "Surface" mode. Correct?

What's curious is that in the video and steps that I show to start this thread, I mention that I selected the "Object" mode. In that mode, I can first select an object, and go Object --> Texture to open the texture file. But in the "Surface" mode, "Object" is grayed out. And, after selecting a surface, if I go to the TCE, the screen is blank.

I'm wondering if when importing a SketchUp model, I need to do any retexturing in SketchUp and reimport the model, or at least the parts that need retexturing. I tried that approach, and it works, although it is a more time-consuming process, of course.
