Unwrap UV 3dsmax

Hey i have some difficulties unwrap my model when the model have rounded stuff and adds in it how to unwrap i get messy uv this is the roof by the way

First of all, the link in your signature is broken. I wanted to see the style of artwork, because this influences how you would approach texturing your models.

This is a terrible set of UVs, as you realized. It looks like you used Flatten UVs, which is really only good for lightmaps (and even then it's fairly poor).

If 1/2/5 is thatch, then you should select those faces and use a Cylinder projection.

The peak (4) is modeled poorly. This should use less vertices. Here are some examples of how to approach this:

It looks like 3/4/6/x are maybe made of iron? 3 should be a cylinder projection, while the rest can be done with Planar projections, and Stitch.

We have some good tutorials here for learning how to unwrap:

Have you tried to find a solution yet? This is a very common problem.

You may use pelt unwrapping for curved geometry. Check this article:
