in an older version of gtk radiant when useing the surface inspector i could change the texture to fit the curved object without distorting it, i forget the command, but i think my choices were "fit" or "axial" or maybe "curved" i dont remember, but i can't seem to make textures look the same on curved objects as they do on non-curved ones, anyone know what i'm talking about?

Yes I do. But you must state what you are looking for. Do you want to use the surface inspector in the NEW Radiant now? The command is SHIFT S for patch surfaces now.

i found the name of the feature, it's called "natural" where it auto-makes-it-look-good

in the manual it shows that option on the surface inspector but i dont have that option on my surface inspector, what gives?
