          Indeed...I am actually changing my SU7 wishlist.
          My top 2:

          1. Improved integration for Ruby and tools for coders.
          2. multicore/64 bit. You know ๐Ÿ˜‰

          Maybe the future development by Google should mean giving 3td party developers a good platform. Maybe even a bit of open sourcing....Why not?

              This is another great piece of work Dale. If you keep this up we can just have you take over sketchup development! Can't wait for this little gem to be released.

                even my parents are excited about this, and they can't even spell sketchup.

                      Great Dale!
                      But how does it's export work flow? Have it problems with uv coodinates(for indigo, kerky2k8, or fbx and obj)?
                      Will be finished(exported) test-model(in 3d-format) opened in any standalone uv-mapper tool?

                      Thanks!

                          I don't really care what SU 7 will look like anymore (kidding) . We have Whaat.
                          Solo's idea of renaming Sketchup to Whaats'up is far from silly. ๐Ÿ˜„

                          Fabulous. ๐Ÿ‘

                              Yes, interesting questions. Also I wonder if the UV mapping is preserved when the model is exported into other applications like external renderers an such.

                                Excellent work!
                                This kind of mapping is already doable in SketchUp but it is tedious and never perfect with seamlines between faces.

                                Dale, my question is similar to Ilay's: what happens if the SketchUp model is opened in a SketchUp where your plug-in is not installed? And what happens if it is saved in a previous version of SketchUp? Will the mapping be preserved?

                                My guess is :yes.
                                Texture positions on a spherical mapped .3ds import are preserved in Sketchup, so why would Whaat's spherical mapping not be preserved?

                                ...but only the master himself will have the answer ๐Ÿ˜‰

                                  To be honest, I have not tested this, but there is no doubt in my mind that the UV mapping will be preserved in all applications.

                                        Whaat mate you have done it again!

                                        I was only whinging the other day somewhere here about SU needing spherical mapping. I'm currently wishing to use a sky dome with a spherically mapped sky that would be linked to an MXI file for rendering from maxwell though with the tools at my disposal now I have to do this through Maxwell Studio.

                                        Cheers, Richard

                                          It will be released as a WIP script this week. I don't know if it will ever be 'done' so I will release it so you all can start playing around with it.
