    Default Material Texture is running the wrong way

    Can someone describe how to turn a texture direction on a surface? When I do renderings and I use something like a wood grain sometimes the wood grain is going the wrong direction. For instance on a door casing the wood grain is running crossways and not long ways.
    Thanks

    Make sure the fill pattern is a Model Pattern--if it is a Drafting Pattern it will not appear in 3D views.

    Then, using the Tab key, select a line in the fill pattern, and then rotate it.

    For renderings, you can adjust the map orientation under Render Appearances in the Materials dialogue box.

    cheers

    Default Re: Material Texture is running the wrong way

    What about a different texture orientation depending on where the material occurs? I am rendering a site with a series of angled sidewalks. I have applied a 5x5 concrete joint pattern as a render material, but half of the time it shows up as a diamond pattern because the material always follows the same direction.

    I know that with a surface pattern you can allign, rotate, or otherwise modify the pattern by selecting the sub-lines on a particular object. Is there any way to do something similar with the actual render texture?

    Thanks in advance.
