Step 1: Select the Face
The first step is to select the face on which you want to apply the texture rotation. You can easily do this by using the Select tool and clicking on the desired face.
Step 2: Open the Materials Window
Next, we need to open the Materials window. You can do this by going to Window > Materials. This window will allow us to access and edit our textures.

Step 4: Edit Texture Position
Now, click on the Edit Texture Position button located at the top of the Materials window. This will open a new dialog box where we can make adjustments.
Step 4.1: Enable Texture Positioning

Step 4.2: Rotate Without Scaling
- To rotate your texture without scaling it, click on one of the four corner handles of the texture preview box. Hold down your mouse button and drag it clockwise or counterclockwise to rotate the texture to your desired angle.
Step 5: Apply Changes
Once you are satisfied with the rotation, click on the Close button in the Edit Texture Position dialog box. Your texture will now be rotated without any scaling.
Congratulations! You have successfully rotated a texture in Sketchup without scaling it. By following these simple steps, you can easily manipulate textures to achieve the desired effect for your models.
