– Right click and select “Position Texture,” then select “Rotate” and select “90” to rotate your texture 90 degrees.

Other things to note –
– This will not work on textures applied to groups – you must edit the textures directly on faces

About Justin Geis
Hi, I'm Justin Geis, and I'm the founder of The SketchUp Essentials. I started using SketchUp as part of my work as a general contractor in 2008. I quickly realized the power of the software and started using it for personal projects. I started The SketchUp Essentials as a place to share easy to follow SketchUp tutorials and tips to help everyone harness the power of 3D Modeling in their lives. When not working with SketchUp, I enjoy playing soccer and spending time with my wife and our two dogs.
