Thanks Ed
How do you control the direction the flow goes on
I did a test word that insists on flowing across the ring not around it (no matter where I select the parts)
I'm stumped

ps for Michael
After assigning objects a name you cannot click on their name in the object area to select them

thanks
shayne

Right now it always maps from the built-in UV direction of one surface to the UV direction of the other surface.

In your particular case the U and V directions on the revolved piece are reversed from what you need.

To fix this currently you need to alter your base surface - try squishing it to be narrow and tall and then rotate it 90 degrees and then use it as the base surface.

I am working on a way to control how the surfaces relate to one another more easily for the next v3 beta.

There's a new selection indicator area at the right-hand side of the name - click there now to do the selection. See here for an example:
