Wall texture intersection

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello, i am using the same wall and texture on both walls, but the texture do not align.

It is a wall made of the same two layers (one brick and the exterior insulation). The texture is stopping exactly where the insulation begins. What should i do to have them aligned?

Thanks

Can you give us a cross-section op your plan from that corner?
It's not quiet clear to me how its made.

Yes, of course.

Hmm, strange.
Just a normal corner so it seems.
Did you apply the texture your self or is it a standard texture?

It is a texture applied myself. I took the existing one and changed it's height so it's narrower.

Seems that all my replies are double.

Made a similar composite of the wall myself.
Applied it with a texture by overriding the surface.
Texture seems allright at the edge.

What I did notice is that in the 2d view the edge is in miter.
In de 3d view you can see its not.

It is a known problem (I think discussed somewhere else) were the texture coordinates do not align between one wall face and the adjoining walls end. This is due to the new Priority based connections, where walls no longer mitre. Also each wall has its own coordinate base - ie to the individual element, so when you move or drag a wall the textures keep aligned with the element.

One way to try and solve this is by aligning the texture of the wall face to try and match the wall end - may work vice versa. If this is just one elevation, you could modify the wall junction order so that the slightly shorter wall then extends pasts the other wall - so you don't see the exposed end in that elevation (but then you'd have the same issue on the other elevation).

We have been actively working on a solution - though it has proved to be more complex than one might have thought.

Hope that helps.

This is the result I'm having when I uncheck the 'End Surfaces: Override using Adjacent Walls option'.

I have checked 'End Surfaces: Override using Adjacent Walls option' from the beginning.

@James B, in 3d i know how to align the texture manually with texture origin, but the texture fill for the facade i don't know why it's not getting also the same origin.
