Surface Projection Tricks: ERROR: interpolation in the parametric space failed

[bryn]

Sometimes you want to project an electrode patch or other object (e.g. a watch) around an approximately cylindrical geometry (e.g. an arm, a nerve, a blood vessel, bone). If the electrode patch is approximately the same size as the circumference, the projection will fail

A workaround is to increase the circumference by uniting the "cylinder" with a thin brick (on the opposite side where you want to project the electrode).

This short video shows how to achieve this.
