jcaia Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I've used VW for a while now, but never really worked in 3D much. However, in a tutorial, I tried applying a texture to different shapes and objects with no luck. Here is what I've done (in both open GL and Renderworks views). 1. First, I tried selecting a 3D generic object, and then dragged/dropped the desired texture from my resource browser (a VW supplied texture). Nothing happens. 2. Second, I tried selecting the object, and then right-clicking on the texture and selecting "apply" - and still nothing. I've watched tutorials on this and I have no idea what I could be doing wrong, as this seems so basic. Thanks for help. Quote Link to comment
jcaia Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 Just to follow-up, I just noticed that the resources are in "images"...but I found them in the "image fills" section of the VW library. They look just like a texture, so I guess that must be what I am doing wrong. I'll look for textures to see if that is my problem. Quote Link to comment
jcaia Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 Yes, its working now - I guess I answered this myself - sorry. It is confusing the images in "image fills" dont work as textures, but that obviously was it. Can an admin please delete this thread? - its not necessary. Quote Link to comment

AlanW Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) Hi, This attached video shows how to apply textures to wall and roofs and a table object. Same principal applies to most things. HTH Edited September 2, 2015 by Alan Woodwell Quote Link to comment
