When you go to Window > Preferences > Extensions you can find the version from there.
I'll add an About menu to the next version.

If you want to add it only for version, you can add version in toolbar name.

Nah - I don't want to add version to menus and toolbars. Because then shortcut keys would break at every update. SketchUp reference them by their names.

Important!
All users should update TT_Lib2 to version 2.6.0

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...

This is the message I get


Error; #<TypeError; nil can't be coerced into Float>
D;/Documents/Doc/AA_SKU/Ruby/AAA_SCRIPT6/TT_QuadFaceTools/uv_mapping.rb;820;in `/'
D;/Documents/Doc/AA_SKU/Ruby/AAA_SCRIPT6/TT_QuadFaceTools/uv_mapping.rb;820;in `point_on_axis'

EDIT: this is with v0.4. I did not upgrade yet

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.

Thanks. Once I have the texture on the shape, what should I do next?

How about 0.4.1?
(I'm prepping up 0.5 which included quite a few validations and error catching. Should be more informative when things doesn't work.)

Then you can click the axis (red and green line) to scale it. Or use the VCB.

Hi,

I made another attempt with my Viking ship hull. This tool is really amazing. A small error I could not resolve.

How did you map it? With the UV Mapping tool, or with the UV Copy & Paste tools?

I found the cause - you got some messed up geometry there.

Look at this screenshot:

Here I made a left to right selection over the selected quad. Notice the Entity Info correctly displaying 7 entities. ( 2 triangles, 5 edges )

Now look at this one - where I made the same selection around the troublesome area:

Notice there is 20 (!) entities. Something is messed up in your geometry there.
