UVW Map awkward shape

[srksphillips]

Hi,

Is it possible to make my texture remain horizontal around this awkward shape so that the arrows always point upwards? I have used the 'Box' option for generic rock patterns (see InfraWorks model below) where you don't really notice the joins but I need to use a texture with a distinct vertical 'weathering' pattern.

I have tried all UVW Map options but nothing works so far and I'm just out of ideas. Any help or suggestions would be gratefully appreciated. I am happy to purchase 3rd party plugins if this cannot be done in 3DS Max.

Thank you,

Steve
