Thank you all so very much for all the help!
I actually got an advise that helped me with this issue - and I'd like to share it with all of you.

The process was simple:

1. using sussage split from the SplitTools (https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=TIG_splitTOOLS

2. applying the texture to all the segments:

3. fixing the texture in each segments to be perpendicular to the outer border, one by one, by Eneroth Texture Positioning Tools (https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=ene_texturepositioning_v1.0.2_0

4. Final result - exactly what I was loking for:

Basically, that's 100% what I nedded, so the only thing that's still missing is a way to 'fix' the texture all at once

Forgive me, but what's JPP?

hi rv1974. thanks for replying.
I must admit i did not understand. why would i extrude anything?
what do you mean?

Thanks so much pbacot! It's a great sulution indeed!

I have posted on the tool's post - a question on how to get the segmentation right.
Maybe you'll have an insight as well:

Thanks again!!

Hi there!
So as i was learning my way into this amazing tool, but i failed to implement it with my shape - over and over again.
It works perfect on archs and circles, but i couldn't make it work on my segmented shape. I just don't understand how to devide my (not so curvy) shape to equal segments in order to get a bick size quades...

Can you please try and help me?

I have this shape that i need to create a 1M frame and texture it with perpendicular bricks texture.
I'm gonna use the FredoTools for that (workes perfect for this purpose, https://sketchucation.com/resources/tutorials/intermediate/1764-arch-texturing-in-sketchup-with-thrupaint). but i need to devide the buffer zone properly beforhand, and I thought of using splitsausage for that.
But I can make it splite correctly...

The polygon and it's buffer:

The desired segmentation (exampled on a circle):

The desired, end result (using FredoTools):

The best way i succeded to segment the polygon:

And thus the result:

I have attached the file.
Thanks in advance!!

Hi there everyone!
I'm new here, but i have a along experience with SketchUp.
I have a question regarding how to texture the ground with different bricks layout.
I will explain:

I need to recreate this ground cover in sketchup:

I need to color most of the area with a regular brick texture, but i need to create a buffer of perpendicular bricks around each grass polygon:

Problem 1: I don't want to draw and then paint every individual brick (it's a huge and amorphic area) and then roteting the texture for each one...
Problem 2: I just don't know how to do it effective and quick.

Please help, SketchUp geniouses!!!
