This plugin is a work in progress. There is much functionality yet to be added but it is still quite useful in it's current state so I am releasing it.
Installation:
1) Copy to SketchUp/Plugins folder
Usage:
1) The plugin will create a context menu called 'UVTools'
2) Select the faces that you want to project. The faces should all have the same texture applied to them.
3) Select 'Spherical' or 'Cylindrical' from the context menu. The axis of the sphere or cylinder will be parallel to the SketchUp Z-axis and will be located at the center of the all the selected faces. There is currently no option to change this.
4) After performing the projection, you can change the amount of tiling by changing the texture size in the SU Paint Bucket.
Known Issues:
1) Texture position is messed up at the 'poles' of the spherical projection.
2) The plugin may fail due to certain types of faces. No error message will be displayed to the user. (I'll try to fix this, soon.)
Enjoy!
Whaat
