David Poiron Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 It appears that the catalog entries for IKEA cabinets do not include proper textures - the all show a grey Axstad texture, no matter which cabinet style I select. Is there a plan to include the proper textures, or is this up to the user at this point? 3 Quote Link to comment
Sky Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 It's nice to have everything pre-done but that fact that you can't change the finishes makes it useless if you need renderings. 1 Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Matt Panzer Posted February 12 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted February 12 Due to limitations in the Plug-in Object Catalog system, things like finishes/textures are not included in the catalog. The finish textures, however, are available here: 1 Quote Link to comment

A lot of the settings of the default content are set to By Style (to make them easier to manage via the style). If they're set to By Style, you will only be able to edit them through editing the style and all instances will take on the changes. If you want the ability to set them per instance, you will need to edit the style and set the parameters to By Instance. Quote Link to comment
Sky Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 @Matt Panzer I'm not sure how to do this. Everything is set to By Style but there doesn't seem to be a way to change that to By Instance. Quote Link to comment

Everything is set to By Style but there doesn't seem to be a way to change that to By Instance. The By Style/Instance settings are controlled by the style and cannot be changed at the instance level. To change them, locate and right-click on the style in the Resource Manager and choose the "Edit" content menu command. You should see a very similar dialog for the style. You can toggle the style "arrow" icon buttons between By Style and By Instance. Once you change a setting to By Instance (and click OK to save the style's settings), the style will no longer control them and you can go back and edit the instance in the document and set it as you like. Note: When the By Style toggle buttons contain an icon that looks like an open book, that parameter is controlled by the catalog and cannot be changed (other than by choosing another item from the catalog).
