Can't add new surface.

Hi!

I want to add new surfaces. I did it multiple times, but sometimes something doesn't work and i cant do it. 

I'm doing it like always - options - element attributes - surfaces - add. Im chosing png texture from my pc, but i cant see it on the preview box. There's only white area and it seems like Archicad didn't add my texture at all. It happens some time to time and i don't know what does it depend on.

 

Operating system used: Windows 11

Hi. 

First, you have to add the texture(s) in the embedded library library (from the library manager).

After that, you have to use your image texture in the surfaces menu, as a texture for your chosen surface.

Or if you have multiple jpegs or pngs you can add the folder of those to the library instead of the embedded library.
