Hello,
I want to texture an object made with loft but it doesn't work as I expected. Probably a simple mistake in settings but I can't find it. When I make a texture, just a very simple picture from the internet put in bitmap and drag the material on the loft object, I only see a flat brown color. When I use the same material on a box, I get the correct material. I added a quick printscreen. If the issue is more complex than I thought, let me know and I will add a zipfile with the whole 3ds file and pictures.

Accepted solution
You need to provide UVW Mapping for the loft object and there is a check box to "Apply Mapping" in the Surface Parameters Rollout of the Loft which is not checked by default.
Check that box and you should see your bitmap.

Welcome to the community!
I made a similar design and activating Apply Mapping corrects the map in the Loft.
I hope this helps you. 😎
