Thanks Mate, Your Blog and Cadtutor Posts had inspired me to take another look at SU. After Downloading Fredo's Plugins last night, i am excited about using SU to its full potential. I will source a render program and look into buying the pro version of SU later in the year. 3d in Autocad is hard work after using SU.

Yup, that video came to my mind, too. Note however that while it may work (and look nice) on faces with such "little" curve, if the curve is "deeper" (i.e. say close to a half circle) when projected, the material will be distorted on the sides. For your model now it's perfect of course.
