Hello,
How can you assign a texture to a path so that the texture follows the path – in other words, proper UV mapping?
In the example image, I’ve used an asphalt texture so that the problem is easier to see.
Path with correct UV mapping

No solution or forgotten?

I'm also interested in this. May be its a feature to be implemented. Well I make my roads in UE5 as I also need geometry for them, but for a ski track or dirt roads it would be nice to have in WC.

That’s a great idea, though the current feature wasn't originally designed for this specific use-case. I completely see what you’re aiming for, and I’m happy to share that we’re already working on it! We plan to extend the Path Shape with a real Path Mesh and proper UV mapping to support your textures. This update will also be available for Shape Layers and should be ready in about a month or so.
Hope that helps :)

Damn. I love this team.

Will this feature be included in the upcoming version 2026.4?

No but in a later version this year.
