Material

You can change the alignment by which texture images are applied to 3D objects after they have been added. These options only have an effect if the texture in question is tiled.

Align texture

Icon1 Lay-out menu > Material > Align texture

You can use this function to align the texture on an individual surface. After you call up the function, you must click the desired surface. Next, you can specify the reference point and the new position for the shift.

If a surface does not yet have any texture alignment information, a query appears asking whether this should be generated. You must confirm the prompt with "Yes". This is the case for 3D objects such as surfaces, boxes, freeform, etc.

Explanation

When an object is edited or refreshed, the texture alignment is reset.

Align texture globally

Icon1 Lay-out menu > Material > Align text globally

This function can be used to align the texture of multiple surfaces at the same time. After you call up the function, you must click on an appropriate surface. Next, you can specify the reference point and the new position for the shift.

Tip

You can shift the first surface you click on in any direction, but you can only shift the height for the other surfaces that have the same texture.

Explanation

Architecture objects in the same structure automatically have a texture alignment and are already combined. For 3D objects such as surfaces, boxes, freeforms, etc., you must first run the function JOIN TEXTURE ALIGNMENTS.

Join texture alignments

Icon1 Lay-out menu > Material > Join texture alignments

You can use this function to combine texture alignments. After you call up this function, you must click on the first surface to align. Then select the other surfaces and complete the function by pressing  Enter .

If the first surface you click on does not have any texture alignment information, a query appears asking whether this should be generated. You must confirm the prompt with "Yes". This is the case for 3D objects such as surfaces, boxes, freeforms, etc.

Remove texture alignment info

Icon1 Lay-out menu > Material > Remove texture alignment info

This function deletes the texture alignment information of a specific surface.
After you call up the function, you must click the desired surface.
