Railing materials mapped incorrectly?

[Barry Kelly]

Is it just my imagination, or are the railing materials mapped incorrectly.
As an example, when I apply brickwork structural building material to a beam or wall it looks fine.
The same material applied to the rails of a railing are all rotated 90° and don't run along the length of the member.
The post s are OK as the material does run along the length (height) of the post, but shouldn't the rail materials be automatically rotated.
So when I use my 'timber-horizontal' material it is horizontal?

I noticed this when I was setting up favourites for my railings and noticed the timber grain wrapped around the rails rather than along it.
Here I used brick as it shows up better.

I will report this as a bug, but I just wanted to check I wasn't doing anything wrong.
The last thing I want to do is is set up new building materials specifically for railings.

A simple re-arrangement of the COOR command in the scripts fixes the problem.
It was 2 macros, one for the post (profiled_post_m) and one for the rail (profiled_rail_m) that needed fixing.
The only thing is I can not fix the built-in post or rail as they are part of the Archicad program and are read only objects - so can't be saved.

Here is the before.
And here is the after when the macros have been fixed.

Hey guys,

There are definitely some inconsistencies here. I have let the developers know, they will look into it. Until then there's no other option but to use 2 separate surfaces for the horizontal/vertical textures.
