[3DSM 8] Problem with prints.

[Kajun]

Earlier today I tried to set up some blueprints to start on a new project, and everything was going fine until I tried to get the side view to show up. I uploaded a picture to help explain my situation, as it does it better than my words ever could.

When this happens to me I just UV map the image. The image is being projected from the top to bottom. When you UV map it you can control the direction it is projected from.

Hope this helps.

Well, it does. Aside from the awful fact that I do not know how to UV map. Any help?

F1 -> "UVW Map"

You should read about the "UVW Map Modifier". Everthing is explained very good there.

I'm using the trial version of 3DSM and the F1 button does nothing. Same thing when I try to open the "User Reference". Any other help?


Also, this only happens on certain prints. And it's always the side view. Is there anything specific that causes this?
