I am having an issue using wrap. Basically what i have is a 1/2 cylinder that i want to put a "grip texture" on. I thought that wrap would be the best method to do this but i keep getting the error "wrap failed could not use any contours from sketch." The sketch is closed i checked evey point 100 times. Here is a link to the image of what i am trying to do.



Thanks for any help.

The sketch you are trying to wrap is probably too long to fit onto the curved surface.

Yes it is probably too long as CBL wrote. It sees the flats in the way.
Make the length of the sketch the same as the diameter.

I made the curve the same as the arc length and it worked. I did that earlier and it didn't work, I must not have had something perfect. Thanks for the help.
