Hi,

thanks for the prompt replies. The magazine object is grouped. I then select "edit group" and move one side of the magazine down.

Here's what it looks like before:

and here after moving parts of the surface:

Just to prove the point that it's the UV's that get messed up, here are the renders. They're done with materials assigned by the render engine (Maxwell, i.e. the texture loads from within Maxwell, only the UV's assigned by the sketchup material get used):

Before:

After:

Am I doing something wrong?

Hi,

I'm a 72 hour noob to Sketchup, not to 3D however.

After much pain, I finally managed to texture map a model of a teatable magazine using export as obj, import into uvmapper pro, exporting as obj, then translating it to 3ds format with polytrans and reimporting it to sketchup! (thanks Google for not providing a obj importer with uv support!)

Now as soon as I change the shape of that magazine (mind you not adding/removing any vertices, faces etc.), the UV information is lost. That shouldn't happen.

Any ideas what's going on?

Cheers
