      I'm trying to rotate a material 90 degrees. When I click on trim moldings that were creating using the "Follow Me" tool, the entire molding (wrapping around edges)is selected. If I right-click on it, the popup menu does not contain the "Texture" option, so I can't position it. I've tried exploding everything, but that did nothing.

        Hi Ben,

        Curved surfaces are made up of facets only they are smoothed. You can only position a texture on a single face (facet) at a time. Go to View > hidden geometry and it will reveal the smoothed facets. Now you can access the texturing tools in the context ("right click") menu. but of course, you can only position (rotate) the texture on a single piece at a time.

        Having done so however, close the positioning tool (hit enter or right click > done) and now with the Paint tool active, press the Alt key and "sample" the already positioned material and apply it on the next facet... and keep doing this until you are finished.

        Gai...
