Newbie Mapping Problem

[JLS5150]

Hi All,

I am fairly new to the CAD world. I am having problems mapping some images to objects. I have done it before, but it is not working right this time. I see the mapped image in the "Edit Mapping" tool, and a black box in the OI & RB for my textures. I may just be suffering from E.S.O.(Equipment Smarter than Operator.) I'm using VW 12.5, Mac OS 10.4.11 2.33 GHz Intel, & 3 GB ram.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks - Jody

Hello JLS5150:

Is the texture created from an image with a width >4096 pixels? If so there is a width limitation for image-based textures that may be causing the behavior you describe. The workaround is to use an image <4096 pixels wide or use VW 2008.

HTH,

Hi Dave,

Thanks a lot for the info. That's exactly what the problem was. I reduced the pixel size, brought it in as a new texture and there it was.

Thanks again.
