Other Fields

Reps (Repetitions)

You can specify the number of times to repeat the map across the surface of the object. The default setting is INF or infinite in both the horizontal and vertical directions. The INF setting ensures that an object will be completely covered no matter how large or small the map is scaled relative to the object.

Cover

This option scales the size of the map to cover a specified percentage of the object. Enter a percentage in both the horizontal and vertical fields. To maintain the proportions of the map, make certain the Lock icon is in its locked (closed) position. When locked, you'll only need to enter a value in one field; the value in the second field is determined for you to keep the dimensions of the map proportional.

Size

This option defines the actual size of the map. You can specify the size of the map in both directions. If you want the map to remain proportional, make sure that the Lock icon is in its locked (closed) position.

Fit Texture

A special Fit Texture button on the Commands tab of the Extensions palette allows you to center the texture on the object with 100 percent coverage. This is the default texture orientation. You can use this feature at any time during the texture placement process to revert back to the default 100 percent coverage. This button is only available while you are in the texture positioning window.

When you're finished positioning and aligning the texture on the object, select the End Reshape/Edit command from the Modeling menu.
