      Hi pdwyer, I don't have SU 8 so I cannot test it. Anyway the plugin only appears in the context menu so right click on a texture-->UV tools.

            Generally this is the way authors publish and keep their plugins updated here so always look in the first post.

                I have a problem using UVTools. I am new to UV texturing. My current project is a sketchup version of Spaceship Earth from EPCOT. The link to the sketchup file is below. I need to know how to get the texture located in front of the sphere to wrap around the sphere.

                Please give me a tutorial as I would like to know how to do this in the future. Any help would be appreciated as I tried looking through this post but Sketchup kept crashing everytime I tried to do it.

                Thanks in advance

                (would love a youtube video tutorial if anyone has time...it would help us noobs out immensely)

                  I don't understand how to use the plugin.
                  I installed it,I get the new context menu.
                  I create a cylynder/sphere, then... what? I create a wall close to it, apply a texture to the wall and use the UV right menu on it?
                  Nothing happens.

                    Why would you install a plugin if you don't know what it is...?
                    Take a look at some of the posts on page 1 and 2... There's a good tutorial by Alan Fraser...

                    Try applying a bitmap texture to a sphere or a cylinder...
                    It's important that it's not just a color but a bitmap texture...
                    You'll see that the texture looks odd on such shapes...
                    Now click the sphere to select it...
                    Right-click it an from the submenu select UV tools and then select i.e. spherical...
                    You'll see that the texture looks correct now...

                    Cheers
                    Kim Frederik

                        Hi All,
                        Since I use Artisan, I have the need to improve my uv-texturing skills ❗
                        I want to use the UV-Tools plugin but I don´t get it to run on SketchUp 2013 - I´m certainly
                        doing anything wrong. The only footprint is the "UVtools.rb"-file (?) but inside SketchUp
                        I dont´t get any icons or any context menu
                        I appreciate any help

                        never trust a skinny cook

                          you could try ThruPaint

                              I use SketchUV and Roadkill, and it works great. 😄
                              WrapR is in development and it will make unwraping inside SU.
