Texture export problem
-
I have textured a detailed model with over 2000 faces and when i export the model it exports 7 more textures than used, in many occasions i would adjust the the texture but i normally wouldnt adjust the texture scale but obviously i must to because these extra texture export, is there a way in sketchup to highlight which surfaces have a unique texture so i can find where these textures are added to the model instead of re-texturing the entire model again.

Export format?
N-Gons present?
I've a Color-N-gons script in the plugins forum

No N-Gons present, i have exported as a dae and obj and im receiving the same textures on export, when it should be 1 texture im getting 7 on export

One mesh?
No groups?
Normals ok?
No back faces textures?
Any materials assigned to groups and not mesh?

No Groups, just 1 componant, no backface textures and normals are
What i must of done was changed the scale via the green pin when texturing 7 surfaces, this wasn't intentional but i have no idea which surfaces these textures are assigned to, is there a way to find out? maybe a plugin that shades unique textures as different colours, maybe

This should select all faces that SketchUp would export as unique textures:
-
SketchUp's exporter doesn't support texture distortion with all four pins changed (ie. that the pins don't form a parallelogram). You would have to reset the distortion on these faces.
Oh, and if a texture pin is only by a very little amount off (unintentional), maybe this code snippet could do an automatic fix: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=45539&p=407003 [on your own risk, requires triangulated geometry, paste in Ruby Console, select surface and start it with
