Well, done. As I wrote before, I hope you are happy with your new job!

@alz said: In d12dozr's example above, when unfolding and combining the hut to create the UV sheet, you create a copy. This becomes a separate object and doesn't link to the materials on the original. So, the missing step is taking the new UV sheet and re-mapping it to each face of the original hut, correct? (seems kinda obvious, but I wanted to call out this missing bit) In my last post above, I give a link to a tutorial by Colonel Klink where he describes how to link materials to the original component. It works but is labor-intensive and not something you could do on a hi-poly model. Here is the link: http://www.resentmentpublications.com/downloads/SUUVMAP.pdf

lol. I'd need lots of aspirin if I lived in that house. Xanax, too.

Ah, thank you mitcorb, and toxicvoxel. Yes, that's exactly what I was looking for! So basically its an easier way to change something once you've drawn it...its easy to see why they brag about that.

Here is a video of how he made it...These two videos even made it into the Sketchupdate! http://sketchupdate.blogspot.com/2009/07/he-made-music-video-with-sketchup.html [flash=480,295:1tht3y39]http://www.youtube.com/v/FIwf7Wzrn4k&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0[/flash:1tht3y39]
