Default Re: Mapping (Frustrated)

You have to adjust your thinking to that of how the software approaches it.

If you select the object and then go into the TCE, you've likely got an object that needs to be mapped from multiple viewpoints. If you select a specific surface, or if you select all the surfaces that face a particular viewpoint flush, and then remap them to one of the axes, then you'll be able to adjust them all at once.

Believe me, it is a benefit to having it work this way. Other 3D packages have mapping schemes that are much more complex. This TCE in AC3D gives you a lot of flexibility to get the results you want: you just have to know how to approach your task to access it!
