      I have an error message:

      Error Loading File /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins/TT_UV_Toolkit/loader.rb
      no such file to load -- TT_Lib2/core.rbError Loading File tt_uv_toolkit_2.rb
      no such file to load -- TT_Lib2/core.rb

      Any ideas?
      Cheers!

      UPDATE:

      I didn't have the other plugin loaded.

      I think it works!

        Have you downloaded & installed the latest TT_Lib2 - it's linked at the original tool's download page..........

          Very nice plugin! I have a small request to make:
          I noticed that you can select a face, and copy its texture and UV coordinates on other face.
          I wonder if you can copy only the UV coordinates without the texture.
          Why ask this?
          Suppose you have a cube.
          Each face has a different texture.
          I would like to turn the texture on all sides by 30 ° with one click.
          If I could copy only the UV coordinates, I could turn the texture on a face of 30 °, copy the UV coordinates, and then apply them on all other sides without losing the texture already on it!!
          Am I dreaming or is it something that can be done?

            I hope you are not dreaming! This is an excellent idea IMO. I know TT has not stopped the development of this plugin and each cool, new feature is welcome (by me at least)

              Make sure that while deleting it, SU is not running.

                I was having trouble with sketchup and wanted to do a clean install but could not get rid of this TT_lib2 no matter what I did I even sent it through a government type deletion and nada why would that happen. everytime sketchup opens it comes up with an error pertaining to that lib2 I followed all instructions when putting it in?
                ps new to sketchup but do know how to follow instructions
                as soon as I took out ruby scripts error message went away but still cannot delete that file here is the files full name TT_lib2_-_2.4.0.zip
                when I opened that zip file it listed all my paint and 3d programs along with my documents why?

                  It's a bit hard to fully understand everything you describe, but did you do what Gaeius suggested, closing SU before removing the files?
                  Can you post a screenshot of your Plugins folder?
                  Also: what is the error messages you got? (These are important to include in questions as they have important information that pin-point where the problem lies.)

                    Hi thomthom,

                    Firstly, a quick thank you for all of your contributions. 👍

                    I've been experimenting (aka still learning) with SketchUp Standard over the last few weeks and have built several models of buildings (inside & outside) - no materials/textures applied at the moment. I now need to create/fix/clean the UV Map before I can export these models and came accross this thread in my search for the tools to do this.

                    A few questions I have are ...

                    Q - Is there an additional plugin that I need to take all the parts of a model and flatten them out to a 2D-plane in preparation of UV Mapping? I need to create a single diffuse (texture) image which contains all of the model parts so that i may be altered later using a graphics/paint application.

                    Q - Where can I find the sample "UV" image that appears in your YouTube demo at Post 1? I looked in the .\images folder and did not see it. Tried finding a "checkered" or "color grid" pattern and haven't had much success on that front either. I'm guessing these mapping images aren't standard issue. 😉

                    Appreciate any reference links/info.

                      UV Unwrapping is not something that exists for SketchUp yet. But Whaat has created a plugin that bridges SketchUp with third party mapping utilities. http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=23725

                      It's a map I created my self. You can find better ones if you google for UV mapping test textures.

                        I've been experimenting with UVTools & UVToolkit since I posted my question and starting to build a comfort level. Appreciate the quick response, UV Map, and link to UVTools.

                        Best,

                          I've just downloaded the plugin and I get this error when I open SU
                          Also my tools (the icons) are a mess, spread all over the screen :S
                          and even the tools I don't have in the bar, because I rarely use them, are showing...

                            Have you installed TT_Lib 2? That error seems to indicate it's not able to locate it?

                              Now I have to learn to use it

                                Quick question...

                                After mapping to quad faces I decided to 'Save As' on the mapped component. When I looked in my Components folder there were lots of images of each mapped quad. Is this normal?

                                        You get those texture files immediately after you use UV-Tools - or when you go to Render..?

                                          I get those if I Fit to Quad Faces within a component then 'Save As' that component to the Component Library. Though I done it twice by accident I can't repeat it now? So let's forget this for now.

                                          But here's what is happening between UV'ing and exporting to Thea.

                                          [a] Fit to Quads
                                          [b] Export (Hierarchy On), UVs get messed
                                          [c] Export (Hierarchy Off), Lots of textures appear in Thea

                                          I'll continue to investigate the 'Save As' issue i HAD... 😕

                                            TT, I could not find that topic where you (and others) compared different render engines and how they distort skewed materials.
