When I marquee an area and go to the 3d window with the internal 3d engine on, only a small portion of the marquee area shows up.
Any suggestions?

Will this command work with open GL engine setting. I can only get it to become active if I use the internal 3d option. The vectorial hatching has to be turned on (according to the help ); it is greyed out in the open GL setting.

This command works for me in 8.1R2+ with either the OpenGL or Internal engine, and with the Internal, vectorial hatching doesn't have to be on (you just can't see what you did with it off).

Maybe I'll try it again after a reboot. Perhaps I'm out of smart little memories.

I do not intend to flame you. I've been using this program for almost a year now; it's very difficult to teach oneself using the forum and the books and still try to meet production deadlines and make a few bucks in the meantime.

Go ahead and complain all you like - the new rendering engine solves many of these issues, but perfect surface mapping is hard to achieve in any application.
Have you had success with my suggestion?

I was so angry when I learned that ArchiCAD couldn't do what I thought were obvious tasks - free-forming of tents, etcetera and such a lousy renderer!
Attached is the first real complex thing I did in ArchiCAD where the model mostly done in hacked GDL and binary stretches was used to build the fiberglass form block.
Huy yuy yuy!

I'm trying to do it with a ceiling slab that has wood strips running in the wrong direction. That's not considered an object, is it?

Nope, slabs are elements. I have no problem aligning textures on slabs. Did you check to see if you have grouping suspended or not. That might make a difference? Or if the slab layer is locked, or the slab as an element is locked (Tools menu)?
