Image Fill Disappears

[Yoginathaswami]

Aloha, what am I doing wrong to have my image fill disappear on me after converting an object to 3D?

For an example the image fill show up fine on a 2D rectangular, but the moment I extrude it, the image disappears?even after rendering it (OpenGL). I experimented this in multiple new files. The attributes pallet show the selected image in it. But the object looks simply white after it was rendered. Any ideas?

Thanks

3D objects do not have image fills. If you need it in your plan view create a hybrid symbol with both 2D and 3D objects. In your example duplicate the rectangle, then extrude it. Select both objects and create a symbol. This will be a hybrid symbol where the 2D will object will only show in a 2D view and the 3D object will only show in a 3D view.

You will need to create a texture of the image and apply it to the 3D object to have it render.
