KVW Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Hi there, I have a couple of extrudes on a project which are assigned to the "flooring' class and should have a stone texture (Arroway stone 002 Sandstone) however, the texture id only showing on the side, not on the top surface so the floor looks see-through apart from its extruded edge. Can anyone help please? The 2D shape is solid as I know this is a problem for applying texture but not the case here. Thanks Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Check in the OIP under the Render tab that the texture is not being mapped as Plane. Quote Link to comment
KVW Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 Thanks but unfortunately this hasn't solved the problem. It was on perimeter but I've tried all the other options but none of them work...... Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted March 25, 2019 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 25, 2019 On the Render tab, under Part, make sure each part is et to use the class texture and isnt set to Overall or None. Quote Link to comment
KVW Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 Thanks Jim, under Part, I only have the option of Overall and then a line under it with Top, Bottom and sides.....Do you know why this might be? It sounds as if you've hit upon something here which may be the answer to my problem... Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted March 25, 2019 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 25, 2019 Thats so you can texture the various parts with other textures, but for your situation, you should set Part to Top, then click Revert to Overall, then do the same for Sides, Bottom, etc down the list to make sure they're all using the overall texture. This vid is about walls but the first portion explains basically the same thing: Quote Link to comment
KVW Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 Hi Jim, I appreciate it but I'm afraid I've done all this and it still doesn't work. Have you got any other suggestions why it just won't update and show the texture please? What should "map type' be? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted March 25, 2019 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 25, 2019 Send me that object in a file and I can take a closer look, usually the above is all there is to it but there are some odd things that can get "stuck" in texture mapping sometimes.

KVW Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 Hi Jim, thanks very much. It's the back right extrude, the front curvy extrude and the water in the pool and the rill that I'm having trouble with....The upload here keeps failing even though it's smaller than the max size..have you got a wetransfer I can use...
