Google SketchUp Question

[l3igrol3]

I have become a big fan of using SketchUp to design stadiums. The one problem I have is when I finish the stadium, I need something that makes it look like there's seats where the, well, seats would be. I've seen other stadiums where they have some kind of material that looks like a seating area? Anyone understand what I need, and if so, can someone help?

If you're using Google SketchUp 6, use "Blinds_Cloth_Horizontal" (Materials > Blinds > 2nd texture on the top row). Just change the colors to make it look like concrete. Change the size to your liking as well if needed.

This shows how the texture looks when is incoporated into the model. I chose this texture for uniformity and also because it doesnt look all junky.
