      I am sorry I have not explained myself better .
      By connecting the paths I meant to create a surface between them.
      The impediment is that after you select one path you can't select another one. In this case I select one path with the Path Select tool then I hold CTRL and take the Select tool from Sketchup and select the segments one by one(which is very hard and time consuming).
      Long story short : Take Path Select Tool and select a path then hold CTRL and select as many paths as you want !(This is what I think it will be very useful!)

      Thank you!

        Hello,

        Is there a way to correct the distortion shown below tool with a UV tool or is the error in the map projection?

        Thanks for any help.

          It looks like it's the map, which isn't good enough... 😐

          Here's my attempt with a map from JHT's Planetary Pixel Emporium...

              Hello and thank you for this much needed plugin.

              I am rendering in Modo and need to export my models.

              I notice that each polygon gets assigned its own material, creating hundreds of materials and making the export near impossible.

              Is this how the plugin is intended to work?

                Sorry for the late reply.
                You need to use the Triangulate feature in SketchUV prior to exporting in order to reduce the number of exported materials. This is explained in the SketchUV tutorials.

                    Yes, for example errors in the Ruby Console when using a spherical map. I wrote an e-mail to D. Martens and he replied that there will be an update in a few weeks.

                                    I got a lot of erros when i export a model to blender and than back. Most of the times i get errors on faces which cant be mapped. The model is kind of a mess, triangles and quads together. Do i need to fix all of this first?

                                      Have no quads on export.

                                      Blenders obj exporter doesn't place nice with SketchUV.

                                      There's the ability to import blender quads as obj with QuadFace Tools.

                                      Download the free D'oh Book for SketchUp 📖

                                        That seems like a dirty solution. There's a quad texture in this plugin than why cant it handle quads correct, making it triangles makes unnecessary big. Isnt there a other solution

                                          Do some tests on exporting obj from blender.

                                          You'll see that non planar quad faces are subdivided and not triangulated.

                                          So whilst these plugins support the QuadFace convention it doesn't work both ways unless you force it.

                                          The other solution which is faster is to stay entirely in Blender.

                                            Ok so I have had a read through the thread and it doesn't seem like anyone is dumb enough to try what I want to do... 😳

                                            I want to create a Icosahedron (triangular sided) globe. So I choose the spherical mapping and the UV maps appear to be ok but when I put the globe texture on the poles aren't quite right.

                                            Is it because there aren't enough faces to map to? Would sub dividing help? or is it too low poly?

                                            Here are the screen shots and skippy.

                                            Thanks in advance
