Texture Bed Rendering Difficulties

[copperpence]

I am trying to create a complex road system that sits directly on the surface of my site model. I am having difficulty getting the rendering to show up in the model and am not sure if I am doing something incorrectly.

I used the polyline tool to create the outline of the road. (I literally traced the outline because I figured it would be easier since it changes from 3 to 4 to 5 lanes intermittently) Then selected create objects from polyline...selected site modifier as the object type...

In Object info I changed the following information:

config: texture bed

texture for class: (created a new class and assigned it a texture)

I even offset the polyline a couple feet and followed the same procedure except changing the config: to boundary...as I read that texture beds needed to have a boundary around them.

All I get is an outline of the texture bed...but no texture... any help please?

I'm just writing some notes for my subscribers about this, and I have covered some of the tricks with texture beds.. Could you send me the file direct?

[Jonathan Pickup]

also, have you tried updating the site model?

thanks for the response! Never tried to update the site model but will have a go straight away tomorrow morning. I'll be gobsmacked if it turns out to be that simple!

If it still doesn't work, I'll try and send you the file tomorrow. Cheers!
