Command-line options

-BoundingBox: Uses the object bounding box to determine the location and size of the mapping widget

• CPlane: Uses Construction plane coordinates for the bounding box.

• World: Uses World coordinates for the bounding box

Box Draws a box to add a planar mapping widget.

• The vertical direction of the box defines the W direction that is used by 3D procedural textures, such as Wood, Noise, Granite, etc.

(Default) Draws the rectangle using two opposite corners.

3Point Draws the rectangle using two adjacent corner locations and a location on the opposite side.

EdgeMidpoint Draws the rectangle from the midpoint of the first edge, an end of the edge, and a location on the opposite side.

Vertical Draws the rectangle perpendicular to the construction plane.

Center Draws the rectangle from the center point and a corner.

AroundCurve Draws a rectangle perpendicular to a curve.

Steps

1. Select a curve and pick the center of the rectangle on the curve.
