Very complementary!

Super impressive!!
I have a question in regards to exporting a finished model (to OBJ or DAE)...
With some plugins that allow you to modify, or reposition a texture, when the finished model is exported, multiple copies of the texture image are generated (or in some cases, copies of parts of the image)... does this occur with SketchUV?
Thank you in advance for any info. -

That is great!! Thank you Whaat for replying so quickly and providing a link to the video! Once again another great plugin for SU! Thanks!... And THANKS for making it affordable for those of us on a budget!

I had a support question about how to map a curving deformed tube-like shape composed of triangles so I created a quick video showing how I would do it. (I could have saved some time by not exporting the cap faces but you get the idea)

Whaat, this is amazing tool. Thank you!
The only thing I could complain about are the shortcuts. My U,V and arrows keys set for other tools.
Was it hard to make a temporary shortcuts override? -

Whaat,
For info, I have logged a bug to Google on that, asking them to let all alpha characters be captured by the VCB after a valid character (digit, (, +, -, ...) is entered. They do it for some charcaters like 's', 'm', 'x', etc...
Let's see if they listen or hear!Fredo

Hi there, sorry to a bother...
I just purchased and installed SketchUV and I can not find it anywhere in SU... No toolbar, no listing in the plugins menu.
It has been placed correctly in the plugins folder as far as I can tell... Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Google Sketchup 6 /SketchUp/Plugins.
I tried it in SU 6 and 8 and it does not show up.
The downloaded file was SketchUV.rbz
I have never installed a RBZ file so far, could this be a problem? Does this require a password or some other method of activation?
Is this a PC only plugin?In case you need to know: 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running OS 10.5.8
Thank you for any assistance in this matter.

Check the preferences panel for install extension
Or rename .rbz to .zip and extract

Hello! I think you will find all of your answers in the manual:

Thanks for purchasing!

Absolutely no bother! We've all had those moments. RBZ is a still a very new thing.
-
Thank you Whaat, you are VERY quick to respond!
Sorry to have bothered you...
Apparently I just had a "DOH!" Homer Simpson moment... The rb part of rbz threw me off and I thought it was a different version of .rb.... like .rbs.
I've actually had this problem before (and apparently totally erased it from my tiny memory)... I googled the problem right after the post and when I realized I've had this problem before, I wanted slap my brain... sorry to bother you.
I used stuffit expander and now I see the appropriate files.
Once again, thank you for the quick response.Edited to add- Thank you Rich O'Brien too... I just noticed your reply!

Really loving this plugin and what I can now do inside SU with UVs.
I do however have a small problem when it comes to exporting UVs for more complex shapes. I accidentally chose a project specific location for the exported OBJ file. Is there a way to reset this?
