[Plugin] UV Toolkit

What I noticed is that you need to have the orientation of the image file in the model correct. You cannot rotate the texture using hidden geometry on an THEN apply the plugin because it will revert it to the default orientation.
At the moment I don't control at all the orientation of the texture. Further investigation will show if I can control it somehow. Currently I'm trying to identify faces that have four corners, but might be punctuated by other vertices.

Big Thankyou

Never mind. It's already a great help and once you are over the excitement, like you say 'If you ask me about any other UV mapping feature, the answer will most likely be; "I don't know."' I already have ideas
-
I have lots of ideas myself. I just don't know if I can do them.

dammit thomthom, i want to stop using sketchup altogether and u guys keep giving me less reason to leave, cant wait to see more developement on this, please keep road kurbs in mind, perhaps a follow along path type texturing, i might be pissing in the wind but we all need to pee every now and then (i'll try work on a better analogy)...

This is one of the final goals I hope to be able to do.

Nice one TT. Really useful piece of kit.

Why?
Wild guess: texturing, poly count etc.
Nice plugin, Thomas. Thanks!

etc etc etc... learn ANY other modeler, that should answere the question, still love sketchup though...

Thanks, Thomas...

thanx , that is great

Thanks Thom, this is exactly what I need!!

I've managed to rotate the texture of rectangular quad-faces 90,180 and 270 degrees. But I'm experiencing some oddity with quads of an unusual shape. Getting there though. (And yes, it does rotate the texture of multiple face all at once.)
-
Fast and accurate, you are a great!
I try to stress a little the process with some complex geometries ..... but for now everything seems perfect!
Triangular faces with respect to I have a half idea ... Once I realize the concept I try to give you news!once again thanks Thomas ...
you are a power! -
Yea, I've been wondering how to tackle triangles. If you have some ideas that'd be nice.

What's next?
I might merge my Mirror UV Mapping plugin with this if I can get this thing working as I want.In fact everything is fine until you make the
"Mirror UV Mapping plugin"
sorry, as usual, my English ... I hope is understandable!
![this fast test seem confirm the idea ... if I "MAKE UNIQUE TEXTURE" of some face the mirror still work perfect](/uploads/imported_attachments/HCt2_005.jpg "this fast test seem confirm the idea ... if I "MAKE UNIQUE TEXTURE" of some face the mirror still work perfect")
-
WOW! Thank You! Very cool!
@davide.skp
have you tried to group all faces first and then use the mirror tool?
I had this issue with imported trees. Using the mirror tool without opening the group/component worked well - applying it to the faces in the group messed up all uv's forever...
-
hmmm.... do you have that test model still? could you upload it here so I can have a look at it?
btw, where you using version 0.1.x or 0.2.0 for those tests?

I had no problem with rotating the texture on my first example but in the second (tubular) one,with hidden geometry in it, it reverted.
I'll perform some further tests however.
