      Thanks for posting examples of what you used the plugin for. It's very nice to see what results people get from it. πŸ˜„

      Glad you managed to work out your problem. I'm sure Fredo will offer an option for you.

        If I may make a suggestion,
        the regular way SU textures is by rotating the texture on the mesh so it's like an un rolled canvas. the problem is, where there are curves, SU doesn't or possibly can't correct it. the solution is usually making the texture projected, but if you encounter and angle, say a +/-90 degrees one, the image stretches until you barely recognize it. If I may ask for a feature, it is a specialized UV mapping where, if the angle of a face from another is above +/-45 degrees, it switches the planar map to to closest axis while still being correctly connected to the other face. It is to my opinion that that feature is possible, yes, for this is the virtual world and nothing is impossible here, but improbable, so to say, the difficulty will lower the chances of it happening, anyway, this has helped me in my studies a lot. you have no idea how strict my 3D modeling teachers are about texturing a model

          You can use the other method of texturing an arch with UV Toolkit I posted here. That works with Thea.

          Also Tgi3D Amorph should work (the same way: remember > restore UV's).

          I made something similar to what he did

                I'm working on QuadFace 0.4 which will allow mapping and transfering of UV mapping. See the video in the QuadFace Tool thread.

                  I know this is an old topic, but maybe someone may see this and help. I don't know how to install this plugin and the one that's required for this. I tried copying the way the footprint example is shown but I'm just getting errors every time Sketchup starts up. Anyone know how to install this stuff? Thanks. Using Sketchup 8 by the way.

                    Here's a generic explanation of how to install plugins: http://www.thomthom.net/thoughts/2012/01/installing-plugins-for-google-sketchup/

                    If that doesn't set you on the right path you need to explain more what you are doing and what doesn't work. Especially the error messages - they are the most valuable pieces of information when trying to resolve a problem.

                      Wonderful script!!!! 😍 😍

                      I little trouble with my ubuntu+SU machine: strange but true.... I get this error:

                      Errore di caricamento del file C:/Programmi/Google/Google SketchUp 7/Plugins/TT_Lib2/core.rb
                      uninitialized constant TT::System

                      I got a view in your code but there isn't any semantical error (IMHO), so what it could be????

                          hello Mr.thomthom

                          may i ask, what kind of plane are u using in "UV Memory (2.1.0)" video?
                          is it sandbox from scratch?

                          if yes, i have difficulties to apply the texture to all of the segmented plane.. πŸ˜’

                          http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/7720/76792321.jpg

                          plane above is a rectangle,
                          and below is sandbox from scratch,
                          how do you apply the texture to all the plane segment?

                              I used a Sandbox mesh. There should be no problem applying the material by just selecting all and clickin it with the paint bucket... Don't know why you get that result...

                                  It should work for Mac.

                                  I presume it's not functioning for you? Errors or no visible menus/toolbars?
                                  Have a look at this guide for installing plugins: http://www.thomthom.net/thoughts/2012/01/installing-plugins-for-google-sketchup/

                                          Guess what Ruby Console does not appear in the tools menu. I googled and I got this explanation.
                                          When I started SU on my Macbook, the expected "Ruby Console" menu item
                                          did not appear at all in the Tools menu.

                                          I figured out why, and I thought I'd share it here in case it saves
                                          others from
                                          similar frustration.

                                          "The problem is that the installed resources and ruby files have
                                          capitalization
                                          that is different from what the installed ruby scripts use. For
                                          example,
                                          sketchup.rb looks for "gettingstarted.strings", but units.rb (and
                                          others)
                                          look for "GettingStarted.strings". If you chose, as I did, to install
                                          OS X
                                          on a case-sensitive filesystem, this won't work.

                                          A workaround is to patch up all of these ruby files to use the names
                                          with the correct capitalization. Change those and the Ruby Console
                                          will work again."
                                          I am not sure what does patch means in this instance.

                                            To be honest I did not choose anything as the system came with preinstalled OS... I even do not know where to look to see if the system is installed as a case sensitive.
