    Default Pattern wrong direction

    I've got soffits wrapping my roof w/ a shingle pattern but they render 90degrees the wrong way. The pattern renders properly on the roof and the fill pattern is correct in 3d. What gives?

    Had this problem before. Its the radius roof that screws the pattern. You can approximate the curve with straight lines and loose the 90 degree issue. This is an accurender issue inside of Revit.

    Could you make another material definition for the problem section of roof that rotate the pattern back 90 degrees so it renders properly?

    Tom,

    I too have had this problem.. only yesterday! Yes, this is a problem with the interaction of the UV mapping in Accurender and the geometry of the curved roof.

    You do not have to use straight segments, however, you can keep your curved slope.

    1) Simply create a duplicate copy of your original roof material (Shingles, etc).
    2) Rename with something you can keep track of, like 'Shingle, rotated',
    3) Edit the new material and go to the maps button,
    4) highlight the map name & click Edit
    5) Goto the Orientation Tab and type in -90.0
    6) Apply the new texture to the geometry.
    (I have found that using 90 rotates it the wrong way - but verify this with a test render.)

    Depending on the map, this should look just fine! Good Luck!
