Quote - ok, a bit more poking about shows every rong of polygons is mapped exactly the same.

Not really a problem but would be nice if the rings couls stack in uv space for each link .
This would mean knowing how many rings comprise a link and start at the bottom of uv space, and then adding each ring onto the last.

I hope you understood that, I will try to map one to illustrate.

I've kept the same UV-mapping as is used in the loop script, where it's really more optimized for texturing something like a rope, perhaps.  Each ring has its own tiling.

If you can prepare an example of what you want, I'll see if I can add that as an optional mapping type.  Right now I can offer planar mapping, this ring mapping, or possibly per-polygon tiling, although I haven't tested the indexing on the latter.
