        hello . I'm kind of beginner of sketchup and your wonderful plug-in.
        now I have some serious problem using Thrupaint.
        The main problem is super slow whenever I paint UV map or adjust UV map(visual editor or simply use arrow key)

        in every kind of furface(probably plain,non curve surface is the only kind that's still work normally)
        288 faces sphere is slow(around 30sec),74 faces cylindrical is slow.
        even 6x6 grid rectangle from sandbox tool takes about 20sec to apply UV map.
        it's just frozen there about 30sec or several minute.

        I have tried : turned off vray extension , turned off fast feedback in OpenGL,
        open ruby console before using Thrupaint(no error) or not using other software beside sketchup.
        still not working.

        the only way I find work better is to delete all other model in the file,just keep the one I want to paint. (but i have keep other model out of my sight,would that be a problem?)

        I'm using : sketchup 2018pro
        intel i7-8700 CPU
        NVIDIA geforce gtx 1060(driver is up to date)
        libfredo6 8.8a
        fredo6 tools 3.3c

        it has great ability to paint UV map.but i have no idea why it seems so unusable in my situation.
        please help if you have some time.

          @chaosaic,

          Difficult to tell what is the problem.
          Could you indicate which UV mode you use (Natural, Projection, QuadMesh) and if you have a problem of performance in all modes.

          Also, what kind of texture do you use? Is it a heavy image?

            I have tested natural,quadmesh,projected in simple 146 faces cylindrical(24*6 + 2).
            all three mode take over than 20sec to put on UV map.

            and the visual mode is lag to hell.

            Using the default map in "sketchuv mapping tools"(rainbow-like checker)
            which is like 512x512 pixel?
            I have also try my own texture(1024x1024). still lag.

            If I delete most of other high poly model in the file. still need about 15sec.
            And if I change selection face to visible face,it will down to 5~10sec.
            (but sketchuv mapping tools and native paint bucket is instant operation.)

              Maybe you can PM me the model so that I see if this is related to ThruPaint or to your machine configuration.

                i'm making a tutorial about your this plugin but i think i found bug.
                it's not painting Dimensions in sketchup 2018-19
                what is the solution.

                  It's just a missing feature. Not sure if there is a value in this (versus using the native Paint tool).

                      after few days of searching and testing , I believe I have found the problem.
                      at least the huge one of them.

                      when outliner tray is expanded , if the file contains high poly geometry , whether its hidden or not (but geometry in invisible layer not in this case),
                      painting UV and using of visual mode will be extremly lag(I'm not sure if this happen in my PC only).

                      anyway , really appreciate that you take your time to answer my question patiently.
                      and again , great plug-in.

                        For info, I made a change in FredoTools 3.4a to keep performance OK when outliner is open.

                        So if you wish to test if it works in your case...

                          I have just test ThruPaint in FredoTools 3.4a.
                          When outliner tray is opened , painting and adjusting speed is almost the same as its not open.
                          Outliner problem just like mystery to me and you just solve it 😆

                          As a newbie I want to ask if there's a way to export a 3dsmax model's UV to sketchup?
                          I hvae a 3dsmax model already has it's own UV map, then I export it as .obj, import to WrapR check its the same as 3dsmax model, then import UV.obj by SketchUV tools, but not working.

                            Hey Fredo6!
                            So, I was messing around with Thrupaint trying to texture a curved and "Z axis" road and when I tried to texture it, The section where the road is straight and curved is just diferent (deformed) like in the image I just sent...
                            Is there any way I can solve this? I've been searching for almost a week, thanks!

                              Difficult to tell without the model.
                              In general, you should do all the segments of the road in one go.

                                  Hello! Thank you so much for replying!
                                  I actually manage to find the solution, I just had to triangulate and I also did what you said in your post, I did all the road together. I actually have another issue but I don't think this one is solvable, I don't know... when the curve starts in my road, the part of the texture on the left side scales up way more than the one on the right side. Is it possible to keep both at the same scale?
                                  Thanks for reading! I will also send the sketch file this time.

                                    Stretching of the texture is inevitable in the rounding with the way Sketchup handles texture adjustment. There is nothing you can really do about it, even if you manage it manually with the pins.

                                            Hi! Can ThruPaint snap to guidelines or geometry when working in visual edition mode to align texture perfectly as native texture position tool does it? Look my screenshot
