      Hello there,

      I'm trying to put (map) an image on a sphere (completely round),but as an absolute beginner, I don't know how to do this?

      Thank you in advance...

        Try this plugin. All you need to do is place the 'UVtools.rb' file in Windows>Program File>Google>Google SketchUp 7>Plugins folder and start SU.

        Any difficulties, let us know πŸ‘

        Download the free D'oh Book for SketchUp πŸ“–

          I made this model with the plugin Rich suggested:
          http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=bc92eca8611ed04d2470944666440e50
          Then just out of curiosity, I simply reloaded the Earth image with a Mars image and it kept the spherical UV mapping perfectly:

          so you can even use either model any reload the image in them.
