I tried to map an image around the edge of a box. First, I used the decal option, but the image was distorted all the time.

Second, i tried an apperance with the image as a color map. It was a really difficult to get this result:

- The Preview Mode is different from the accurate/fast mode.

- how can i avoid repeating the image?

- the Fit to part option shows a scale of e.g.123.9. If you want manually change the value 10 is the maximum.

  As a result, the image is to small.....

The whole texture mapping is very intransparent and you need a lot of try and error and even more a lot of time

to get a result.
