scottmoore Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Working on historic building with a balcony facade that has a repeating, but rather iconic stencil pattern applied. To create the facade, I used a NURBS curve for the profile and a simple 2D arc for the path. All of this worked well and the image based texture applies easily enough. The issue is that the image compresses as it nears the ends of the extrusion. The image is mapped using "perimeter". When I switch to "plane" the issue is inverted; compressed in the center. I have indeed measured the image in plan view to confirm that it compresses significantly at the ends. It is not simply the an illusion due to the curvature of the facade. I have created the image to tile and a single iteration is divisible by the overall width. This is not a deal breaker and I may be the only person that really notices but it seems like this ought to be a solvable issue. Working on vwx2020 currently. 1 Quote Link to comment

Tom W. Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I'm guessing 'cylinder' map type is not available or you would have tried it too? Quote Link to comment

grant_PD Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Perhaps make the EAP longer and see if that stops the compression, then clip it to your desired length. Quote Link to comment
scottmoore Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 I’ll give that a shot. Quote Link to comment
