CRebecca Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Hi, I am a student and am trying to figure out how to apply texture to 3-D objects for the first time. I'm working mostly with pretty basic extrudes/ grouped extrudes. When I select something, I'm getting an automatic message in the obj info palette under the render tab that says 'cannot apply sketch to object' and won't give me any of the drop down options we reviewed in class. After consulting the workbook, I still can't figure out the missing step. If anyone has time to give me some jumping off pointers, I would really appreciate it. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 It sounds like your selected object is 2D. If you extrude the object all the render options will appear. hth michaelk Quote Link to comment
panthony Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Double click on the group of objects which will allow you to edit the individual objects within that group where you can then apply the textures to your solid extrudes. Once complete select the exit edit group and return to the main application window. Quote Link to comment
