Anyone know how to rotate a fill?

Anonymous — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 21:11:24 GMT

I have a soldier course that runs up each side of my gable. I need a brick material that is at the same angle as each side. My trim is made up using two different PRISM's based off user input roof slopes.

Any suggestions on how to rotate my soldier course material to match the user input angle?

Here is what I'm trying to get.

I believe VERT and COOR control texture orientation. I'm not familiar with it myself, but I do remember it being discussed before.

A search brings this up, which may be helpful -

Seraphim, I cannot find the default menu to show.

I have extensively reworked my WE.

You need to be in 3D window. Select element first, to be able to then
align the texture in the direction you want.

The default menu (US, anyway) is Design > Align 3D Texture..., although from the way Seraphim phrased the question, I think he/she was looking for a GDL solution...

Hi Seraphim,

I think it's not a difficult task...
If you could send the object I give a try...

Thanks for the offer Braza! I've been researching the VERT and COOR commands previously mentioned and am having some degree of success. If I can work out the specific coordinates I need I think I'll have it down. If I run into any major walls I may take you up on that offer!

Ok. You're welcome.
