Texture Maker
Use this component to generate textures from colored meshes.
In order to export model as *obj you should Bake the new mesh and apply texture to its layer material.
It is also compatible with Google Earth.
How to use it:
1) connect colored mesh which comes from LB analysis component
2) run the component
The output are: a new mesh that you have to bake and a texture that you should add to material of the layer where your mesh will be.
Special thanks goes to the author of the function, Vincente Soler.
