https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Visualization/Textures-Help/m-p/97792#M18794 Hi, <BR /> <BR /> I take it that you want to apply a texture image to a material, and to apply that material to an ArchiCAD object. <BR /> <BR /> The way to do this in ArchiCAD 10 is in the Options menu select Element Attributes and Materials. <BR /> <BR /> If you want to create a new material then duplicate an existing material. I usually chose one similar to what I want in terms of colour and reflectance. <BR /> <BR /> Then you can add your texture to the material using the texture settings at the bottom of the material settings. <BR /> <BR /> You can browse to your texture using the load other object button, or if you have already added it to a loaded library folder it will already be available in the library. <BR /> <BR /> You can then scale the texture and determine how it is tiled. <BR /> <BR /> When you have applied your new material to your object , you can then open the 3D window and align the texture by selecting the Align Texture sub-menu in the Design menu. In this way you can get a graphical image such as a shop sign to start in the right place, or to be at the correct angle. These align texture commands don't work for library objects as far as I know. <BR /> <BR /> Textures will be visible if you look at the 3D window with the OpenGL 3D engine selected, and if you photorender views. <BR /> <BR /> Hope that helps. <BR /> <BR /> If you want to know about textures with the Lightworks render engine you better contact Dwight or buy his book.
