Orient flat pattern on cylinder. (How-to)

[leex]

Hello.
I have a cylinder and flat surfaces that I would like to place on the cylinder.

Initially, I made a sweep cylinder (! _CreateUVCrv)
On the formed rectangle I placed the pattern.
Now I want to throw this pattern on the cylinder.
I can apply the command ! _ApplyCrv. But the problem is that the pattern on the cylinder should be flat.

Will you tell me how to do it please.
Thanks.

It is!

How did you do that?

Hello - make a PlanarSrf from the outer rectangle. Use this as the base surface for FlowAlongSrf using the ‘Rigid=Yes’ command line option.

Thanks a Million, Pascal!
