hi,

thanks for all the answers. i managed to get the result i wanted using this UV Toolkit plugin.

TIG: yes, i also thought that painting the group will apply the material to both front and back faces. sadly, this wasn't the case. maybe it could have been a problem with the geometry? my model was actually first generated by script in rhinoceros, and then i exported to 3DS to import it into sketchup for VRay rendering. also, this was a group of groups inside a component, so that my have also been the issue 😄

dsarchs: yes, i read about that, but since i do all my renderings in vray directly from sketchup...

i had two windows opened at the same time - the one with 'repository' and the new project.

'repository' -> find desired material -> save material -> open project window -> load material -> catastrophe

i followed your suggestion about having two windows open at the same time, so i tried to:

open repository -> find desired material -> pack material -> close rep. -> open project window -> load material -> win

thanks for reply. 😄

Yes the site is working perfectly...

Doesnt the DR Spawner have the option of sharing the textures to a networked location? Is this not working in the current build?

ha, that did the trick 😄 thanks.

So that works?

Nice example, Eric.

thanks Brodie, taking the location from GEarth and adjusting the North did the trick for now. also i now realize that the same could be achieved if i just rotated the imported google earth terrain snapshot.

thomthom: i first had the building done, then i wanted to photomatch it. hence (combined with my rather newbie skills in SU) when i did the photomatching, i moved and rotated my house around (i wanted it to fit in two pictures).

thanks for the replies 😄

thanks 😄

i think i will use the Ruby console instead of paying $5 for the same functionality. 😄

and furthermore i found a videotutorial by AIA on SketchUp, where i've been given some tips on modelling from CAD plans; suddenly, i don't need this toggle anymore 😄 well, at least for now.

thanks for the answers

How much does that AIA video cost, or can you share? (usually can't afford anything "AIA"). Any help in that process is welcome.
