Wrap decal around a cylindrical surface
Wrap decal around a cylindrical surface
(OP)
I want to put a logo on a model of a cylindrical surface. This question has been asked in this post as well but nobody replied to it. The texture mapping at least has an option to cylindrical wrap the texture but that is not the solution.

Don't tell me something as simple as this can not be achieved in NX 11

Have you tried making a New Visualization Material. On the main menu for the new Material use the Single Image in Image Mode. Under the Pattern tab use the Simple Decal and select your image here. Under the Texture Space tab use the Type Cylindrical and specify the axis direction ( of the cylinder) and origin point (pick a point on the face of the cylinder). Still under the Texture Space tab you can then use the scale options to enlarge the image and the slider bars at the bottom to move the image around on the cylinder. This works for me.

I'm starting to believe the ability to map decals to cilinders in NX 11 is missing...

Saved the part,
Opened it in NX11.
The material is still there but the decal goes missing.
The NX11 material on this part has an option to do cylindrical mapping, but the dialog is ... Let's say "not interactive"...
Origin ? XYZ ?
Normal ? XYZ ?
Up ? XYZ ?
- No, you cannot pick any of this data, you have to type...
Let's hope that this is a beta release that somehow was forgotten in the final testing...
