@Pilou: PM sent.

So impressive! Looks like even I could learn to use it.
-
Makes a very professional impression. Congratulations to the fantastic result of the long work!
-
Incredible work, to the end a UV Wrapper real and useful plugin with all features necessary to make a good mapping into Sketchup.
Congratulations!!
I work on Mac, I'll have wait for the Mac version but I'm going to install it on a PC to test it.Are you interesting in a Spanish translation?
-
Looks amazing! I'm on a Mac as well and I hope a Mac version is on your to-do list in the (not too distant) future!?! I'll promote it to everyone I can.
-
This is superb
Are there any user manual available at this moment ?? or soon to come ?? -
Working hard to make docs for next week. But I cover most things in those videos above.

Is this an acceptable place to ask questions about WrapR?
I thought about starting a new thread, but in some forums people get annoyed with starting new threads or ones that can be perceived as somehow redundant.
That and WrapR is still in Beta, so I could see where things might change and certain questions become moot.
These are general questions about features, function and tools.
Nothing about bugs, I get that those are submitted in a bug report.So far what I've seen/used... WrapR is very intuitive and a great asset for SketchUp users.
If this isn't a great place or time to ask questions, I strongly feel that at least after WrapR is officially out and for sale that if at all possible, it get its own subforum like Thea, SubD and Vray have... I really feel that this is one of the top ten most important tools in SketchUp history.
Thank you for the opportunity to test WrapR and addressing the need for this feature/tool/slice of awesomeness.

create a topic if you want.
it will get a dedicated place if it thats what people want.
thanks for the nice words!

Thank you Rich. I finally had some time to play with WrapR and Substance Painter together and your videos were invaluable. This may be a dumb question but how do I alternatively get the UV layouts into Photoshop directly from WrapR? The .svg export doesn't seem to come into PS with any of the islands. Also the site says that tomorrow is the last day for the Beta. Is that for access only, or will all betas cease to work after tomorrow? Thanks!

Hi Adam,
Use the File > Place Embedded... feature on a 1024px x 1024px canvas in PS...
We export the SVG at 1024px x 1024px but since it is a scalable vector graphic you can resize to any square dimension without pixelation.
Or use and online SVG to PNG to convert it.

- Why user should select\manipulate UV's with RMB? It's so bizarre and unnatural, are there any benefits?
- Any plans to add some kind of lasso selecting mode?
- Maybe it's a good idea to add a button for Saving the changes and applying them immediately in SU?
- Wrap-R tends to exaggerate the texture scale approx x50, scaling the checkers down helps only partially (maybe 3 button clicks). Could the application try to pick up the initial texture size?
- See attached. In case of serpentine\road like mesh, how can I straighten the UVs in orthogonal (so the sloped horizontals would get horizontal indeed) manner?
1 - Must be something with the way you work or your OS setup. RMB only used to Pan viewport
2 - Yes, you can grow a UV selection with NumPad + key
3 - Good idea, a lot of work to make it happen
4 - UV viewport uses 0-1 UV scale of the applied texture. Use [] to resize for visuals.
5 - Pin whole island then unpin and align each loop. We plan to add more unwrapping methods in future

A couple of noob questions here:

Many thanks in advance

- I'm a lefty, so my mouse setup is mirrored. And the Wrap-R (and Roadkill
are the only softwares with this bug. could it be addressed? - Brackets (and relax) work only for first 3 shortcut hits.
P.S. Could you put corresponding shortcut letters next to each menu item?
P.P.S. If I were one of Sketchucation moderators, I'd strongly recommend the authors to post video tutorials with keyboard\mouse recording (as you did in one of Wrap-R teasers) - I'm a lefty, so my mouse setup is mirrored. And the Wrap-R (and Roadkill

1 - this use roadkill core for openGL so it could be causing your problem. But I'm lefthanded too and i use a mouse like most lefties do.
2 - Adding shortcut keys to menu would mean reworking the shortcut editor in the File menu. Doesn't that list the keys for you?
3 - SketchUp needs a Screencast Keys addon similar to Blender. I do have a plugin that displays keys presses but a better option would be what KeyCastr does for Mac.

- Donno what to tell you.. In mouse properties, I've got 'switch primary and secondary buttons' checked. All programs
excluding Roadkil and Wrap-R obey this setting. It happens on several PCs. - As for shortcut hints please see atttached.

Hi Rich, This will be a real valuable tool! Maybe not 1 percent of SU users have an idea how this can bring their visualization skill to the next level. Not really very used to unwrapping myself but ive been searching for this kind of tool.
Just wondering how you did this (see below). I didn't follow (you must be using keyboard shortcuts in the demo)
Maybe a bit more videos and i'll be learning it soon.
-
C to cut edges.
If someone needs or has a model that needs unwrapping or wants advise to how to approach it feel free to ask.
