Hi, I´m modeling a wall where I need tu use image as surface but can´t find how to set an anchor point. When I move the wall the image stays in the same position.
Thank you.

You will find the surface texture and hatch pattern is always generated from the project origin.

You can use the 'Align 3D texture' option in the 3D window (can't be done from elevations) - the command is in the Design menu if you are looking for it.

 

Or you could maybe use the 'picture' object with no frame and use a custom texture image - the images need to be in a loaded library.

But that won't allow for windows and doors.
