properly orienting wood textures

It looks like you are doing the same type of drawings I am. When I do 3D, I either search the net for pictures of the wood I want or take a picture of my samples and make a texture out of the image, making it seamless in Photoshop. Some of the textures in the last two versions of VW are pretty good, but I get better results with what I described.

Good day archturn

Which version are you using?

Add this as your Signature please.

You could also rotate when mapping a texture to a plane when orientating it.

Unsure you are in Top View and selecting "Show Texture Area" helps alot.

The first Rotate tab on the right will rotate the texture on the centre point.

It would be good if a texture image could be rotated when imported where the Tile, Filter, and Softness settings are.

To add to Peter's suggestion, which I use, vectorworks has an easy option for exporting a texture's source image for editing. If you right click a texture in the resource browser there is an option there called extract image. iphoto makes a good rotate, crop and colour editor.
