Corrugated steel??

[Anonymous]

Hello all,

I did some searching through the forum for this and couldn't find anything, which makes me think im overlooking something, and this is a simple question.. but... here it is.

I'm in the middle of designing a building which uses corrugated steel decking as a wall cladding material, something which isnt all that uncommon IMHO, but I can't seem to find a corrugated steel texture anywhere... I'm sure I could make one myself, but was just wondering if there was something out there...

cheers,
dan

go with dwight . . . .

roof surfacer can't handle what you want because of graphisoft's inability to give us true curves - your vaulted roof will get split down into many flat segments . . . which the surfacer tool splits as well with nasty results!

"... because of graphisoft's inability to give us true curves..."So imagine what would happen if you had to model something like this....

Thanks a lot for the help guys, the texture from Dwight works really well

If only mine would... it just seems to comes out split into only a few flat segments. I thought I could solve this by using profiler for my roof, but even that still isnt much better.
Is there any setting to adjust the quality of the vaulted roofs? archiben's example seem to shows far more 'segments' than mine.
