Losing textures - from plan to layout

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 00:30:49 GMT

I have a problem copying fills from plans to the master layout. The textures get changed and I have no idea how I could solve this.

I have created my own textures (bmp files) and uploaded them; in plan view they look perfect, but in layout view they are replaced by some orange fill.

Has anyone met this problem?

Haven't encountered this myself, but I would consider a couple of things:

- The fill in the plan is the correct size, but when you draw it in your master layout it is 1:1, so may be scaling itself to a larger fill and you're just seeing a little bit of it

- Check your work environment settings to make sure you have unchecked the uniform color for Master items on layouts (Work Environment > User Preference Schemes > On-Screen Options)

Hope this helps

If you could post some screenshot those may reveal the exact nature of the problem.

Thanks Bruce!
This was it. The textures were scaling to a much larger fill, so I've had to change that.
However, I don't understand why this is happening. If the scale is 1:1 when transferring from plan to layout, and every element keeps its proportion, why do fills change their dimension?

It's in the fill definition - you can have them as scaling with the plan or scale independent. Check your definition and make sure it's Scale with plan (Model Size)...that way it will stay the same size no matter the scale.
