manumzo Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 I tried all the possibilities but nothing is working. Many Thanks for your help anyway. If you succeed to do this, just let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK.....I don't work with materials, lights or do renders but somehow I found what you said was missing. Please expend a bit of effort on your part.

ReMark Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 And where is the selection of the units ?... Wouldn't that be under sample size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manumzo Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 Please, instead of being sarcastic ReMark, try to make a can like i'm tring to do. It takes less time than posting a screenshot ... And you 'll see it's impossible ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I have no desire to try and make a 3D can. Remind me again where you heard about cylindrical mapping, scaling and tiling? From your AutoCAD help file....(note the word in red). Scale. Specify real-world units to use in scaling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manumzo Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) Explain me something ReMark : what is the point of answering to a post when you don't have any solution to propose ? I don"t get it. Maybe it's just the pleasure to be sarcastic. Well, i don"t think i'll find any solutions here (the best free help for Autocad on the web ...) I deaply regret these words ... sometimes i'm an ******* ... Edited December 16, 2013 by manumzo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. Seek and ye shall find. I've answered all your questions.

manumzo Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 You answered to all the questions without giving any solutions. You must be right, I'm too blind ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 The solution to your problem was very well illustrated in the video by David Cohen. I can't top that. Your seem to have been unaware of the cylindrical mapping feature until I mentioned it. Mr. Cohen mentioned it too. You said there was no scaling option. I showed that there was. You said the ability to enable/disable tiling was missing. I showed you that was untrue. What else would you like me to do? I told you this is not the type of thing I normally do yet I was able to find what you couldn't. I can't explain why that was. Maybe I was just lucky. If you want me to finish your project fine, send me everything you have, and when I have some time I'll give it my best shot. I'll post my results whether or not I am successful. Does that work for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 (the best free help for Autocad on the web ...) I think we have given you all the information that we can. We have spent nearly 3 hours providing you with links to tutorials and videos and tried to explain, to the best of our abilities, how to go about mapping a texture to a cylinder. The rest is up to you. Sometimes the best way to learn how to do something is to just starting tweaking the settings, but if you truly can't figure it out, try the other advice that was given and install Blender. If you ask me, that's actually some pretty good free help. Here's something else I just found. Download the pdf and scroll down to page 22 where they start talking about the texture editor: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=7&ved=0CHQQFjAG&url=http%3A%2F%2Fedoqs.com%2Fdownload%2F9bb76e27b619e6c2b83cfab7a3c44a94&ei=DGKrUp2iH86J2AW3g4DgCQ&usg=AFQjCNFo7JU_aSuPN8G9g7MsoRDJZKDEBw&sig2=Jsb63BqkdjQnCVJQHopvLw&bvm=bv.57967247,d.aWM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 One very important thing....even when we fail we still learn. I fail yet I learn every stinking day. I'm not afraid to admit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manumzo Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 Listen, I only need help to make a simple object, a can. It should be easy. I work on Autocad since 22 years now, and I made several project more or less complicated with 3DSmax too. I don't want to argue with you. I just want to move on and find where the problem is. Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 This is what you are having a problem with. Repeat Tiling wraps the selected object with the texture image. Because the texture is scaled to fit the object, you may need to offset the UV coordinates or rotate the texture to adjust the tiling effect. This is covered in your Help file. BTW...I'm using AutoCAD 2013 not 2014 today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manumzo Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 I tried this. I tried everything. I respect the dimensions of the label of the can and the dimensions of the can. I'm used to make 3D object : (render on MAX) So I know the basics. But here, I don't find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I apologize if I have not been completely helpful but this is not the sort of thing I do day in and day out. My work consists mainly of creating/editing process piping and instrumentation diagrams for a chemical company. Any 3D work I do is for fabricating tanks, stairs, platforms, supports and building framework. In my company there is no need to apply materials, light and render 3D drawings. That's considered unnecessary. So when a problem like yours comes along I am even less qualified than you to come up with a viable solution but at least I give it a good shot. Your posted images are far, far better than anything I could ever do which still makes me wonder why on earth you would continue to want to do this soda can label in AutoCAD when it could be done so much easier in 3ds Max. I guess that's my real hang up here as I just don't understand your thinking. But hey, I've tackled some tough problems too just for the privilege of saying "I did that!" so if that is what this whole exercise is about then go for it. More power to you. I hope you are successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manumzo Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 Sorry ReMark and Cad64. I do appreciate your help indeed. This can is gonna make me crazy ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I'm right there behind you manumzo. The offer still stands. Upload and attach what you have to your next post. When and if I have some time over the weekend (during the predicted snowstorm) I may play around with it. No promises made though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
