Merge model textures (unwrap)
-
hello, how I can combine all the textures in the model in one layot (unwrap?) and use it in the model?
there is a plugin?

There is one that rely on third party UV mapping software: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=23725

Could it be possible with the unfold plugin (I haven't tested)?
The plugin allows to unfold faces of a curved shape until they are in a plane. Jim added a function to refold the shape. Originally it was supposed to apply a texture map to the unfolded shape and refold it so that you can texture complicated curved shapes. Here is the version with refold function:
http://bitbucket.org/jimfoltz/sketchup-unfold-tool/get/tip.zip (see this thread)The idea is that you have already a textured model. After unfolding, you select all faces, right click, "combine materials" (since SU7.1 if I remember correctly). This will create a new material out of all textured faces, but it works only with planar faces. Finally you would refold it.

Thank you all, look what I got

Hi Aerilius,
Indeed it is possible (just do not forget NOT to select to merge coplanar faces when combining faces). There is a topic somewhere (I thought in the Newbie dept but cannot find it there) which deals with exactly this way of combining the textures.
