@gaieus said: Hi mhyst, As Pilou mentioned for your wish-list post, try UV Tools: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=23725 It has a spherical and a cylindrical projection tool, too. Best would be to export the parts first and experiment with them "outside" the file then re-inmport them. Thank you very much. I'll try

Indeed you are completely right that SU would need better UV mapping tools. These are workarounds but thank to the plugin authors we at least have them.
