Parametric mapping is also the default mapping option. I hadn't needed to change to Parametric.

I do not see a page 3 of comments, only the last comment is rather long, talking about how the tutorial misses key elements in the tutorial that beginners would not understand, such as getting the transmap to work. I can't gleam anything helpful from that map.

Not to worry though- I've gotten David Brinnen from over at DAZ and he's helping me get my Ring looking as it should.
