How to wrap a graphic around a curved surface?

Post by bluey01 » Tue Apr 15, 2014 12:29 pm

Hi, Been successful adding textures and logo to flat walls but can't work out how to add a logo to a curved surface as below shows.

I've tried as an image and as a texture, any ideas?

thanks

I've tried all combinations of keys, as wondered if different on a mac? or because i'm on SU 2014, twilight v 1.5.4?

I just can't seem to get a single logo on the selected geometry as shown below?

Twilight Render wouldn't have anything to do with this, as it's purely a SketchUp operation. However, there may be a confusion as to which keys to use. Maybe an experienced OSX + SU user can help out with the key mappings.

The eyedropper tool is paint bucket + the command key
