Thanks so much for your responses. I guess for the render side of it, the projected texture is perfect.
I do unfortunately need to model it correctly further down the line. I know it is easy enough in Rhino, but I only have extremely basic rhino knowledge.

As it is part of an ongoing product development, it will need to be modelled, tried and tested, various times. It needs to be a very specifically sized, exponential spiral, which makes it difficult.

Jeff, was it rhino that you would use to do it as a one time thing? Is there any chance you tell me the tools you would use, if so?

Thanks again.

Sorry I dont know how to describe it. But I need to be able to draw spiral, going around this shape. I tried to lay on a texture to give you the idea. Even that I struggled with.
I know there is the plugin by Fredo, but does anyone have another technique, or could explain how using the Fredo plugin, that you could achieve such a thing?
Many thanks!!

Hi there, is there a trick to getting your plugins to work with sketchup 2015? Or has that not happened yet?
Thanks for all you do.
Nic

Thanks for the quick responses!
I had it scaled up largely. I figured it must have been that the radiuses were too large for the size, however it didnt appear to be. The typography needs to be exactly as is. Ive attached the file to see if anyone can have another crack at it. Thanks again.

Can anybody help me out rather urgently?? I have attached screen shots of the settings that I have used and the results I have gotten, as well as what I am trying to achieve. How do I get rid of those little wing pieces on the top that shouldn't be there??
Is this the best tool to use for the job or can someone recommend a better one? I have tried the soap skin tool which works for the top and bottom banners, however its very uneven on the 5.

Any advice would be super welcome. Thanks.

Hi there. I installed what I believe to be the most up to date version of the plugin. I'm using Sketchup 8 pro on a Mac Lion. I tried the plugin on what something that had around 50 edges. Sketchup froze. Tried it a few times actually and every time, it would get to a different point. 90%, 10%, 40% complete. I then tried it on a simple cube. Same problem. I then tried it on one face. 4 edges. same problem. sketch up freezes. does any one have any idea what the problem is and how i can fix it? thanks in advance?
