I have been ceating custom surfaces using this method:&nbsp;<A href="https://gdl.Graphisoft.com/tips-and-tricks/how-to-create-a-custom-surface-catalog" target="_blank">https://gdl.Graphisoft.com/tips-and-tricks/how-to-create-a-custom-surface-catalog</A></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>1. Normally when I 'Export to GSM' it creates a SurfaceName.gsm, FillName.gsm and a folder [TImg] textures with texture image inside. A few of my surfaces are also exporting another Pattern.gsm file (see screenshot) when i save them out and I am unsure why, does anyone know what this file is or what is causing it to generate??</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>2. I had primarily been using jpeg's and png's as the Surface Texture Image. I have since tried to use a .bmp as the Surface Texture Image as they were available on Colorbond website.. I am now having problems with my library becoming corrupted and windows file explorer crashing until I remove the folders containing .bmp files. Has anyone encountered this problem? Wondering if it has something to do with the file type...</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Thanks for your help!!</P><BR /><IMG src="http://community.graphisoft.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/54765iFB35A4A93CF9AE16/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" border="0" alt="Screenshot 2022-04-29 171625.jpg" title="Screenshot 2022-04-29 171625.jpg" /> Fri, 29 Apr 2022 07:29:35 GMT alex_kemp 2022-04-29T07:29:35Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/Custom-Surface-Catalog-issues-saving-out-surfaces-to-gsm-file/m-p/337270#M51130 <P>I am in the process of creating a Custom Surface Catalog for our office in AC25.
