Applied textures in SketchUp

Below are three images from my SketchUp model. Each exhibit one of the textures made over the last week applied to a surface of my Experiment 1 SketchUp model. The first shows the texture based from the word "framework", and is used as the flooring of my ground floor space. I like this texture choice as it almost depicts a dark stone with lighter cracks running throughout. I feel this texture would work well as the flooring for the exhibition space in the final model, and I would like to develop this further. The second image shows the texture "dense", and is applied to the upper surface of the gigantic curving blocks which make up the ceiling of my first-floor space. I am unsure about the use of this texture in my final piece, and will evaluate this further. The third image shows the texture "classic", and is used as the flooring for the below-ground space. I am also unsure about the inclusion of this texture in my final piece, but like the idea of contrast between concrete walls and a darker floor, particularly within the below-ground space. This exercise proved valuable in both creating/editing my own textures and in applying them and testing different texture configurations and contrasts.
