Graphic Override Fill Orientation Problem

Sefa Yakut
Enthusiast

Hello,

In my project, there are modules placed at different angles that I connect with hotlink. When I apply Graphic Override, I see that the fill is applied directly according to the x-y axis, not according to the angles of the modules. Is there any other way other than correcting this one by one in the tile setting? When we work with angles, graphic override cannot be applied?

Hi @Sefa Yakut

I am not aware that you can adjust the orientation of the fill with the graphic override.

Do you have a fill or a cover fill on the element in your module file originally? If you use a fill or a cover fill with the custom distortion, then the fill override should follow the original setup, regardless of your positions of hotlinks. I've tried very quick graphic override, and the orientation of the graphic override fill follows the original cover fill orientation.

Set custom distortion in the original fill in the element settings:

This is the original fill, where I oriented the fill manually with the help of the fill orientation handles:

When I applied a graphic override with the different fill, it followed the original orientation:

Let me know if it helped!

Hello Gordana

Actually, what I want is to be able to set the fill orientation via Graphic Override settings. Because I have module files with different angles, I have to set the fill one by one. It would be very nice to be able to make the fill orientation in the first image you sent with graphic override
