Wraping a picture on a cylinder

[coffeebean]

Hi everyone - stuck again - trying to wrap an imported picture on a cylinder
Following the manual doesn't seem to work.
I imported a JPEG file and sized it on the cylinder OK.
When I context clicked into materials, the manual says it goes into colors - mine went into "in model" catagory. When I try to go to paint bucket a small circle and slash icon appears telling me I cannot auto wrap around cylinder like it is supposed to do. Can anyone help
Merry Christmas - Glenn

This should work BeanBoy...

1. Create a cylinder.
2. Select the File > Import menu item to insert an image.
3. Select an image format from the Files of type drop-down list.
4. Select the image file.
5. Click the Open button. The cursor changes to the Select Tool with the image.
6. Click in the drawing area to place the starting point of the image.
7. Drag the cursor away from the starting point so that the image is resized.
8. Click again to place the image.
9. Context-click on the image. The Image entity's context menu appears.
10. Select Use as Material. The image appears in the In Model material library within the Materials Browser.
11. Click on the material in the Materials Browser. The cursor changes to the Paint Bucket Tool.
12. Paint the Material on the cylinder. The material will automatically wrap around the cylinder, repeating itself as necessary to wrap the entire model.

For an image that should not be repeating, follow the instructions in the description field of this Warehouse model.

Also, you can use a nifty plugin called "UV Tools" by Whaat. It can UV map a texture both cylindrically or spherically.
