Conceptual Massing (Surfaces)

Another one for you guys

Having problems when dividing and editting surfaces within the conceptual mass family. I have attached a couple of pics for reference.

The first ones (Conceptual Massing) show the object we need to create (custom curtain wall as a roof element) note how the mullions follow the line of the edge of the mass object and there is a mullion placed along the edge quite neatly as well..

Now, if you refer to the other pictures (New Mass) I am unable to achieve the same result! the division runs flat ignoring completely the shape of the surface.

Anyone knows if there is a way to manipulate this?

Thanks

It looks like you created a square shape and then used the void the cut out the proper shape. Only then the UV runs in the direction of the original shape. If you create the shape as is, by using arcs, then the UV grid will follow the contour.

That makes alot of sense, I have managed to do it now.
Thanks!
