Strange UV map

Hi

USSNorway is correct. You need to use software that gives you control over where to place the seams and how the model unwraps, rather than just an automated unwrap. Blender 3D is free and will give you the controls you need for that simple object. There is software around that specialises in unwrapping, but you won't need it in the example you show.

why = because the AI sees that angle as it unpacks the model i.e, starting from the top left seam... they don't think but just follow a set of rules

how can you fix it = unwrap the model in any true 3D software like wrap 3d, Blender or Maya, where you [the human] can take some control of the way models are wrapped... in this case the middle of the can is the important part because thats where a label goes

tried contacting Adobe Customer service = wow did they even know Adobe has software called Dimension? their job is to take your credit card details and thats where their training ends but they should have told you to ask questions in the forums so give them that much

p.s, its not just Adobe AI which doesn't think and you could get this same result in Blender or whatever... the difference is that software has steps to fix it
