      UV_Toolkit
      by thomthom
      UV mapping automation:

      • tries to fit the texture of the current material onto all quad-faces in the selection. The texture should fit once across the face, no tiling.
      • Rotates the orientation of the textures on the quad-face,
      • Transfers the material from one side of the face to the other. UV mapping will be mirrored.

      Cylindrical and spherical mapping on surfaces.

      UV Projection
      by J. Sandstrom
      Can easily fix messed up UV's by projecting planar UVs on a selection in either X, Y or Z axis.

      Cylindrical UVtools may work best

      mashtab 4
      by Sahi

      Scaling tool for the selected objects, along XYZ axes.
      How to install: Just drop it in Plugins folder.
      UI Location: Toolbar

      z axis x 10

      pic_0022.jpg

      info hight factor of 10 |....|....|....|....|

      174 feet is the elevation of Kanas very flat
      How high was the plane that took the contour line
      let say 300 feet thus factor 10 of site

      witgh=1.5 mile
      deep 3/4 mile
      height of hills 174 feet or 1740 feet. I guess You know best since you on the ground.
      You house will be very small to the given terrain. so cut up and divide by 10 the terrain grade may then look like 17 feet

      What I would do is to use mashtab 4 to resize just simple models to this terrain.

      Oh yes.
      I been using since 10/2011
      9 level of transparency and it work on google chrome browser too.
      You can overlay [You Tube] video to sketchup as backgound or foreground

      Another Utilities that works with Vitrite is
      4t Tray Minimizer Free

      http://download.cnet.com/4t-Tray-Minimizer-Free/3000-2072_4-10079431.html

      A free tool that can minimize any running application to the system tray, also known as the notification area. That's enough on its own, but 4t Tray Minimizer can also roll up any window to just its title bar; make windows transparent; hide programs without displaying a system tray icon; set hotkeys for minimizing, maximizing, and launching applications; and toggle the entire system tray open and closed.
