Profile- materials and fills

Tom Krowka — Thu, 06 Feb 2025 10:37:38 GMT

Have created a foundation profile with different materials. Those materials have fills associated with them that I would like to display correctly in elevations & sections.
However it appears that the fills are associated with the point of origin of the overall profile assembly rather than each separate material. As a result, the fills do not show up correlated to the material but the origin point. Is there a way to be sure the fill is generated by the material rather than the common origin.
Thanks Tom

Hello Tom,

Have you tried to modify this parameter for each of your materials ?

Nope. Didn't appear to change anything. I did find that "align 3D" texture command allowed me to define an origin point for the material which did work. Although I have to select each instance where the situation occurs. Kind of time consuming; still looking for a global solution.
Thanks Tom

If I understand you correctly, it is not possible (individual surface/BM origin within profiles).
But you can join us and vote here.

you understood me corrrectly. Will vote. Try the "align 3D texture" command. Worked for me....but I only had one material on one side to change. Not sure if it will work on multiple materials on opposite sides.
Thanks Tom
