      Copy from one mesh to another is more challenging.
      UV copy/paste only works on per quad-face.

      If you have a mapped mesh, then use the UV Memory function to store the UVs - then you can make a copy of that mesh - modify it (as long as you don't erase/recreate the faces and finally use the UV Restore function.

      Copy from a mesh to another would require the mesh to have the same structure, same number of faces etc. The challenge is trying to match it all up.

      hmmm...

        Well yes, as the plugin currently works (also), it is obvious. But as I explained, I'll have to finish the untextured model first and then texture it.

        This method would require to re-model each vault. In my above example, the two vaults are identical in face count and all. So with "my version" I could (re-)texture the whole thing any time by texturing the "regular" one and then transfer the co-ordinates to the other one.

        But of course, if it is a no-go, I won't insist (somehow I thoughtyour unpublished beta worked that way)

          It's not a complete go. But it may not be part of the next release. ...will see... Would be a very useful tool.

                I am only doing it for the sake of the community (i.e. squeezing everything out of Thom in order that we have the greatest UV plugin ever!)

                  I'll agree on the UV toolkit being excellent but don't forget he needs to concentrate on Bezier Patch for me.

                  Now i need to return to baking the world biggest cookie.....for Thom.....my pal...... πŸ‘

                        Windows or OSX? Can you post a screenshot of where you placed the files?
                        Any error messages?

                              I'm guessing you put all the content of the TT_Lib2 folder directly into the plugins folder?
                              Have a look at the footprint description of TT_Lib2 - towards the bottom of the first post.

                                  It should be there.
                                  It should be ...\Plugins\TT_Lib2\<*.rb> - like the footprint description for TT_Lib illustrates.

                                      Ehy ThomThom, great plugin πŸ˜„
                                      Any chance you would look into increasing it with numerical input transformations like: translation, rotation, scale as possible in 3dpaintbrush for example (see this part of video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=h_7ZOgjxREM#t=125s) ?
                                      That would be very usefull, avoiding me the need to often switch to other 3d app just for this (I often need precise numerical transform) πŸ˜„

                                        When I finish the transoformation gizmo you'll be able to use numerical input for some transformations.

                                            hi

                                            I'm using sketchup for a while now (i got used to sketchup6 and this plugin works fine with it πŸ˜„ )
                                            well I haven't got any request for a plugin before but this one just peaks my curiosity...

                                            I thought of "linking" all faces (by id or something) to a brother object which we could deform and even unwrap (^^), texture and use remember uvs so it saves the current material position
                                            BUT
                                            restore it on the original

                                            what do u think ? possible ?

                                            deforming the face was nice however without I'd be happy too 😎

                                            great work so far works great
