reGenerate Design Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Hello there, Hopefully this is the right place to post this... I have made a site model for a small residential design that I'm working on, and I also have a landscape area that I want to show on the site model as a texture bed. In the LA settings, I have it set as 'Texture Bed' in the 3D setting for the proposed site model. I've also right-clicked on the LA and chose 'Send to Surface' but I'm still not seeing it appear on the site model. The attached photo shows the LA selected beneath the site model after I tried to send it to the surface. I've also attached the file itself. Could anyone point out what I'm missing? Thanks so much.

Peter W Flint Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I’ve run into this issue before. Based on what I’m seeing (I’m typing off my phone and can’t download the drawing) it looks like you may not have it on the appropriate layer, either the site model layer itself or on a layer above it in the stacking order. Are you just trying to create a texture bed or landscape area with texture? For the former I generally use the “create objects from shapes” command and create a site modifier texture bed. The 3D option to display a landscape area as a texture bed is a new feature I haven’t explored yet but I understand it’s intent to be to give some contextual information for the material being used within the landscape area (like mulch or topsoil). The plant material should also display alongside the texture. Quote Link to comment
J. Wallace Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 (edited) @reGenerate Design it looks like you just need assign a texture to your vegetation-perennial class. I did so and it works. Just make sure you update the site model once you do this. Edited April 24, 2021 by J. Wallace 1 Quote Link to comment
reGenerate Design Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 Thanks to both of you so much for your advice on this! @J. Wallace I tried to assign a texture to the class via the following instructions but when I update the site model, I don't see the texture applying as it has done for you. What specific steps di you take to assign the class a texture? Thanks again, Adrian Quote Link to comment
