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?

thomthom

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.

Zoom in to the top left corner of that white and see a whole lot of extra edges and faces

Hi Thomas,

I did it with the UV Copy & Paste tools.

Hi,

I found the error. As Gaieus said, in the enlargement can be seen some additional faces. This I have now adjusted.

Hi Thomas,

I'm still have a few problems with copy and paste UVs. It is probably a mistake from me again. Would you again take a look at it.

It's still some non-quads over at that end.

Hi Thomas,

I thank you for your efforts. I'm sometimes a bit hasty with my questions. In the future I will take a closer look before I ask a question.

Hi Thomas,

Once it has worked with the hull I need help again. I do not succeed, to bring the texture on these relatively simple geometry. As far as I can judge it must be all quad faces in the model. Yesterday I spent two hours trying to find the error in the geometry, without success. Thanks in advance.

Are you using the Copy and Paste function? Or the UV map function?

Wow!

Hi Thomas,

I've just tried it again and it worked. I do not know what mistake I made.

charly2008

Not yet perfect but a step in the right direction with the help of the Quad Face tool from Thomas.

Really glad to see some if the stuff this plugin is being used for.

Problem! when i copy all files to sketchup 8 plugin directory, and open sketchup, I get this error.. I'm doing something wrong?

In the first post, there is a reference to another plugin (library) that you also need to install for this one to work. Please, make sure TT_Lib (linked from the first post) is also installed.
