[LED Screen Tool: Curved Screens]

I'm sure you know this already Andy, but if you add all your extrudes together as a Solid Addition, VWX should map an image texture across all the extrudes as 1 item. Otherwise I agree entirely , your suggestions would be a really good addition to the tool.

@markdd I have been down a path of plenty of trial and error and lots of searching the internet over past 24hrs. I am trying to show a stage with a continuous LED wall as is the preference of a bunch of festivals now. I can create the 3D shape no problem. The problem comes when I try to apply a single image across it. The image I have created is the right dims, but this is not the problem. The problem is that VWX sees each section of the extrude as a separate surface. I have tried extracting surfaces, converting to generic solids. Extracting nurbs curves from the edges and creating loft surfaces from a pair of those. I then found this post and thought *eureka* SOLID ADDITION because I always trust your posts to have neat, simple answers! But alas, VWX still sees the solid addition as having seperate surfaces where it switches from flat surface to curved. Any thoughts to help a weary drafter out!

@Jesse Cogswell Just needed to log on to say thank you for this script. It worked exactly as described and fulfilled a real design need of ours for a model - THANK YOU!
