Rotating textures on Slab objects... didn't I read that we can finally do this?

I'm not consistently able to.

 

I select the face (top in this case) and try and rotate, but it very oddly changes the texture scale instead.

 

 

I've redrawn this slab a number of times but it still acts oddly.

You could already rotate textures on Slabs set to render By Object like you're doing. What is new in VW2024 is that you can rotate textures on Slabs set to render By Component. Which is great!

 

Nevertheless not sure what's happening in your case: does changing the map type make any difference...?

@Tom W. I haven't figured it out - but I did get a work around.

 

VW doesn't seem to like circles in the boundary outline.

When I approximate the circle with straight segments, the texture rotates fine.

 

...when I edit the boundary back to include a circle - no dice with the face texture rotation.
