I was reading this tutorial on how to use sketchup to make multi textured entities
here and was estatic that I didnt have to UV map anymore! one of the last few posts talked about the size you need to make the models in and so I made this template so no one has to figure-up the conversion of metric centimeters to segment subunits. just open this in sketchup and drag your own sketchup model file into the window and scale it to fit the way you need it.
