Searching for Plugin.
-
Sorry to be a pain but I am looking for a Plugin that enables you to flatten geometry into a single co-planar polygon and at the same time creates a single texture map from the the flattened Geometry. Think Chris Fullmer may have created it a while back. Used the search function but cant seem to find it anywhere?
Many thanks...

I think you are remembering a few different plugins.
Jim Foltz has a plugin that lets you flatten geometry. Its called "unfold":
http://sketchuptips.blogspot.com/2007/08/plugin-unfoldrb.htmlI made a ruby for adding random color to a model, and in the tutorial for my ruby, I showed how to use one of SketchUp's native tools - "Combine Textures" (new in Su7).
To use combine textures, you select faces that are co-planar and right click on them and choose "Combine Texttures"
So the best way would probably be to use Jim's unfold tool to make everything flat. Then use the combine textures tool.
Hope that works,
Chris

Depends on what 'flat' means... http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=20233

My mistake it was 'Combine Textures' function I was thinking of. Haven't upgraded to 7 yet.
Nice tip about the unfold plugin prior to use though.
