How do you add textures into archiCAD?

[Anonymous]

Hi i would like to know how you can take so of the texturs avaliable in the depository on this site and download them so they can be used as texturs on archiCAD. Help please. 😃

1: Make new folder "Downloaded Textures from Repository [date]"
2: Place textures from repository here.
3: In Library Manager, add this folder to the Library load.
4: Reload library. NOw you can access the new images.

5: In Archicad>Materials, you can duplicate or alter an existing material by selecting a new image.
6: If you want this texture to carry thru to your LightWorks renderings, "Match Internal Engine" in the LightWorks Material dialog.

So you have to manually create the 2000 textures?

Assuming that you can actually manage 2000 materials in the Archicad material dialog.

The intention of the repository is to provide images that you might browse
through to improve or more closely match situations that the basic materials can't.

Another additional approach is to import many of the superior Shaders from the built-in LightWorks Archive.
