Texture cannot be applied to faces of a non-history-based object

Huh?  I'm trying to apply a brick texture to the gable face of a solid subtraction (see attached file) and I get the message "Texture cannot be applied to faces of a non-history-based object."  Why?  It's a solid subtraction of a solid addition of 3D symbols and a generic solid.  Is that not history?  (And, in any case, can't we apply textures to faces of generic solids, which have no history?...).  (Vectorworks 2022)  VWIS234

I had the same issue on VWX 2023/Mac with a solid subtraction object.

 

I converted it to a Generic Solid - and I was able to use the drag/command function with dragging textures to specific faces.

 

Hope this Helps.

Interesting. I can't get generic solids to accept textures, but don't have a problem with "objects with a history" as VW puts it. I'm using VW2022. I think this is the opposite of what is happening to you.

Has anybody figured out what this message means?  I am getting the same message on a Solid Addition.
