          Yes very useful indeed, thank you Thomas!

          The Remember/Restore function is very innovative too. I tried to make a pillow but it didn't work (back). Maybe because I also edited by using Move tool on single vertices?
          However, with only Smoove it works well (front).

            It didn't restore properly after using Move, but Smoove worked fine?
            How how odd... I really don't know why that would be. I'll try and see if I can reproduce it.

              Hi,

              I've reproduced the same process with a less complex geometry and it seems to work well (!).
              When it did not work before, I have fiddled a lot with the vertices - or maybe the memory got lost when saving the file?

                If you erase/recreate geometry you will loose mapping data.

                  Ah, that sounds plausible. Not sure what I did wrong, but I guess must have been something like that.

                  thank you Thomas

                    Looks like a very useful script, Thom...but I'm having problems loading the V2. The ruby is asking for core.rb in TT_Lib2. Is this different from the one in TT_UV_Toolkit; and if so, where is the Lib2 folder hanging out? Did that install as part of an earlier offering?

                        Thanks Rich...thought it would be something like that. Don't know how I missed that line.

                          No - ThomThom's menu is not required. TT_Lib2 is. Two separate things. ThomThom's menu is just an optional plugin you install if you want to group all my plugins' menus under one main menu.

                                Hi Thom,

                                Again, arches...

                                    Nice one.
                                    I have an update coming soon, 2.2. It allows you to map a set of quad-faces, copy the mapping to the UV clipboard and when you then select a set of other quadfaces and paste they are randomly applied UV mapping from the clipboard set.

                                    Makes it easy to apply a set of variations. Tried it on a geometree from FormFonts:
                                    Set of five UV mapping copied randomly to the quad-face leaves.

                                    One can make quite efficient mapping if you use sprite techniques - one material, with a texture containing all the variations.

                                        Can you explain more about 'sprite technique'? Never heard of it but I'm thinking it's a texture FontSync a range of similar hues?

                                          You just combine multiple textures into one. Then apply just part of the texture to different faces. That way you have one material that serves multiple purposes.

                                            FontSync? What was i typing?

                                            That meant to say 'containing'... πŸ˜’

                                            I'm still lost, your plugin can combine the numerous textures or this is done by the user externally?
