      I just noticed some problems to apply and modify materials, forms closed (loop)

      Can you elaborate? Very vague description there..

        undefined method to_l' for nil:NilClassError al cargar archivo tt_quadface.rb undefined method to_l' for nil:NilClass

        I have tasted by returning to install the plugin but appears me the same error

            I've gotten several reports on this. I'll try to get a patch out soon.

              Hmm, for some reason I'm having trouble selecting the V direction.
              (Especially if I try to click on an outer edge.)
              Usually, selecting the U direction works.
              Then for V it doesnt select what I'm clicking on. 😕
              When I click the edge on the other side of the selected U edge, "mirrored from the first", it works more often, but the texture isn't applied as I would like. 😞
              I'm having this problem with every model I tried.

                  Hi Fredo,

                  I think you need before placing the texture on the face. Then you can scale the texture. Whether it is possible to be centered I do not know.

                  The second example I have made with "UV Unwraps, copy and past UV"

                    Need what? Selecting? If what you meant to say, then that is not needed. Selecting just limits the mapping to the selected mesh. Otherwise it maps the whole connected mesh.

                    Pick the corner as starting point. The point where is axis cross is the origin of where the mapping is done.

                    In a coming update I hope to add controls to adjust the starting point after picking the axis.

                      Tom,

                      Here is the model where I have problem (I get the UV axes, but the texture does not appear).

                      Might be related to the nil errors people are reporting...

                        Version 0.4.1
                        Added a hotpatch to address the loading errors. Might resolve a couple of irregular behaviours as well.

                            great to see a video and what amazing work you put into this forum. really well done.

                            I'm trying this out for the first time and am having some trouble, the problem is that i can put a texture in but then cant change it to a new one

                            Its basically only works once and you can't map anything else to that shape. or i've missed something. - I'm on a mac

                            (suggestion - is there a roll over help pop up that can be used that when you leave the curser ove an icon a pop up help describes the function?)

                            Try with version 0.4.1 - maybe your issues was related to the nil errors...

                              When using "Unwrap Picked Grid" it'd be nice if it used inferencing.

                              Had a look at my code again - it does already use inferencing... But I'm changing it so you see the inference icons.

                                Select the material you want to use from the Material Browser. Then pick the U and V axis.
                                I noticed that in the model you posted, no material was selected - I'm guessing this was your issue?

                                  Thank You Thomas,

                                  In any case, this is a fantastic tool I've ever wanted for a long time, especially for the planking of ship hulls. But I have a small problem which I have not yet overcome.

                                    How/where do you pick the U and V axis?

                                      Looking at it, where you see the seam, that's where you set your axis, right? Your texture isn't seamless, so it's the two ends of the texture that meets at the axis.

                                        Here's a big big ask...

                                        The 'Show Grid' is a great option is it possible that this grid represents 'Compressing'[Red], 'Stretching'[Blue] and Normal[Green] of the UVs?

                                          Thomas,

                                          thanks for your advice. The texture was not seamless. Now, the planking is almost perfect.
