RE: HELP to wrap a sticker around a box with NX6

(OP)
I found by myself but it's not perfect.
I created a single ruled surface around my box with a little offset.
Then I was able to create a visualization material (instead of decal) with Texture Space Uv
It's nearly good but the sticker is inverted !!!
I tried to change the direction to build my surface and also the normal without any success.
I have attached a zip file with prt and jpeg files
Does anybody have an idea ?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for your answer
In fact, I had planned to do this. But is it a bug or the right way ?

Hi Didier,
I would say it is a known "limitation"...
  You should write an Enhancement Request about it.
 ( And ask for other enhancements on the UV mapping... smile

You can reverse both curve 1 and curve 2 in the ruled surface, then the image is as expected.

Regards,
 Tomas

Hi Tomas,

The result is not good by reversing both curve 1 and curve 2

Did you try ?
