aligning texture origin in 3D

[Jefferson]

Don't you hate it when you used to be able to do something and today you can't!!

I cannot seem to align my textures in the 3D window, (that's the only way I used to know how). I have attached screen shots. I have attempted to verify that all walls I am trying to align texture on were drawn the same way (direction) and have the control line oriented the same; I have attempted to select them individually as well using marqueed areas and the ctrl A method: always setting the origin point to the same place, carefully! Then attempted resetting them all at once. I have also created duplicate walls and tried aligning their textures independently and in conjunction with the original walls. All methods repeatedly. All methods, no dice!

When I do a reset all the texture origins move, just as when I attempt to align them, just not to the same place. Obviously this will play hell with my sketch renderings let alone the elevations.

I am hoping this is pilot error and what I get for working on a holiday. Any ideas? Mr. Geiske?

Did you try it in an axo view, NOT looking frontally at the model?

Hey Djorde -

OOOh yeah! I have looked at it from every which way I can think of. I realized on the way home from a needed dinner out that I hadn't revealed all the details...........

This was originally a ver 7 project and I am recreating it in 8.1, mostly from scratch but some items have been copied from the original .PLN and pasted in the 8.1 .PLN file. I am also using a .PLN 7.0 library for AC 8 to expedite the copying + pasting. I don't know if this should or could make any difference but, just the facts.................

I have devised a workaround of copying the lower floors up and making the required height, window, etc. adjustments and everything lines up after the alignment procedure. Once again I suspect pilot error. Good thing it's not at 30,000 ft..............still it would be good to know what's up!

bed time...........
