Aligning textures in LightWorks (Cadimage Wallbuilder)

Anonymous — Thu, 11 May 2023 10:57:14 GMT

I am using Cadimage Wallbuilder (in ArchiCAD 12) but am having trouble lining up a LightWorks brick texture (my own creation), which I apply to the Wallbuilder object.
My problem occurs when I have walls of differing heights. The texture on the Wallbuilder object seems to have no obvious origin.
When I apply the same texture to just the wall itself, it lines up perfectly (no matter how high the wall is).
Is there a way to align a LightWorks texture on a Wallbuilder object? Am I missing something in the material options?

Deimos:

I don't have the Cadimage Wallbuilder, so I don't know of any specific problems with this add on, but the textures normally align by default (they are all starting at the project origin). You can use the Align 3D Texture command (search the Help file for more information about this command) to align the texture on specific elements.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.
