      Hi there
      Is there a way that one can create a rubie that can do this. I have a kurb, and a texture, soldier course of bricks.
      So to tile this on that curve, i have to put a break in those curved curb area drop the texture on every segment and rotate it to work with the curve of the kurb.So this is my question, cant someone make a rubie so you pick a curve of the kurb, pick the texture, and dump it, and it will adjust that texture to sit perpendicular to that specified curve.

        Up until recently there was some mystery to how some of the Sketchup API worked in regards UV mapping. This seems to have been cleared up.

        This particular plugin you mention is something I've been wanting to do for a long time. It's first now that I have an idea on how to do it. If noone else around here make it, then I'll certainly be looking into it. I need it, exactly for the purpose you described. Though, I have some other projects to complete before I can have a look at this.

        (I assume that the whole surface of the curb would be quad-faces?)

            Don't you just project the texture on the curved surface?
