texture's orientation & start point - NEED YOUR HELP!!!

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 13:39:48 GMT

Hi guys!

I already searched for the answer in the topics you already inserted in the forum but I just found some solutions for archicad 7 or higher. I work with ArchiCAD 6.5 EDU. I'm afraid there is no solution for this one:

I'm working on a project with many different textures (most of them are signs - created in Photoshop). As I recreate the needed form for those signs with different tools I need to use them on almost all of them (specially, slab, roof)

The textures seem to start at any random point and I can only center the texture moving the elements but once saved as bibliothec-objects the textures don't keep in place!
I already tried many things but I still can't find the solution.

In this case I can't use the picture-with-frame-object as the forms are very irregular or round in most cases!

Every idea / suggestion is welcome!

This texture setting option in 3D was not available in AC 6.5. It was part of the Special menu though. So you can press CTRL-ALT while starting ArchiCAD for the Special menu to appear and then you can use the command in 3D.
