"Orient the Texture"

I would like to see this incorporated into all the standard ArchiCAD library objects. Last year a carpenter delivered a custom kitchen with all the wood veneer turned the wrong way. When I asked him about it, he showed me the photorenderings I had given him, with all the wood veneer running the wrong way.
