3D Map Art rendering upside down/reversed

When I go to map the image with a symbol, it renders completely backwards (upside down, text reversed) but what's weird is that I originally did it, it worked. It's just after opening up the file after closing and saving it (even the preview image has it correct, it just doesn't load at all. It almost seems like the surface numbers are different than they were originally too).

Anyone else ever have this issue or know what could be the cause?

Thanks!

I'm experiencing the same exact thing. The mapped art/symbol is upside down! It's on the front-face of the object, and I have to rotate the symbol upside down in the "Map Art" preview dialog positioning pop-up, for it to appear right-side up on the 3D object. Very frustrating!

I had the exact same problem and it was very frustrating! But I figured it out! My problem was that when I drew with the pen tool, I used the outline of the shape instead of filling the shape. Once I turned on fill and no outline, everything works perfectly well. I hope this helps!

It didn't work for me.
I have also tried reversing the path (filled or not), did not help.

Can you be a bit more specific?

Is this about putting artwork on the back side in 3D (Classic) Extrude? If so, that is a bug.

Or is it about 3D & Materials? In there you have to move it around until it works.

Thanks for the response.
I had just a zig-zag path and was using 3D (Classic) Extrude.
Flattening the stroke with to fill didn't help.
It is difficult to tell if that were frontfaces or backfaces.
I guess if that was a matter of front/back faces - reversing the path should make a change, but did not.

All the images on this path are rotated 180 deg.
