Thanks . . . I'm not finding anything that looks like something I can use.

How would I make one marker such as the one I've shown below? This is for a shower and there's just not that much room for 4.

I'm looking at what you sent and did get a pattern in there. Not sure exactly how to choose or make a pattern for a 1x2 mesh tile. I have chosen the image that I brought in to the library browser as texture but when selecting the line (grout) color, had to force quit.

Might have something to do with using a 2013 iMac that I'm keeping alive in a most complicated way!

I do have patterns "toggle" on so going to look at all Dermot has sent. Haven't solved it but can't thank y'all enough for assistance!

I didn't but went back in and did. Deleted elevation and still get the same thing.

I have added a tile (single 8x8) to my User catalog and applied by spray paint in 3D camera view. Why does it come up as a single color in the elevation?

thanks in advance!

No the file was grayed out and so no import. But when I go to desktop and drag it in, it works.

Wow, that worked! Thank you ACADuser and solver!

Doesn't allow me to import. I'm trying what I see online and dropping desktop image directly in file.

I see one but not seeing a way to import my downloaded file into my User Catalog?.

Anyone else in the Southwest that has a library image of a spiral carved post or column like the one shown below they'd be willing to share?

And also explaining in it that the repeat is coming from the tub — one of those blocks in my block that was not registering!

OMG Alaskan! I can't thank you enough for showing me all the steps! I have confidence I can do this and am ever grateful to ALL of you!

Wow! thanks for the youtube Eric! I will diligently go about following your instructions to the best of my best ability.

I grew up thinking I wasn't very intelligent and I'm sure that's how I look here so I appreciate all of y'all's patience

and care! And just ignore what may seem like female emotionallity — it's what I am!

I have so many entries in the Library that I'm not sure what I sent you and what is there. I tried in one to enter -21" and the band went up the wall. I've delisted all of the entries and will import another material, put it in a Custom backsplash and play with vertical offset . . . again. I understand the repeat but I don't understand why there isn''t some approximation of math to use when adjusting the offset.

Custom backsplash doesn't help — still comes in off. And when I do the vertical offset at a negative, the tile moves up instead of moving down. When I look at the image and guess how much to do the vertical offset, am I missing something? In other words, the diagonal tiles are 8.25 so I look to see how much of a tile is showing below the gold band and then input that guess.

I'll try the Custom backspl and see if that helps.

I have every time I change the vertical offset but I'll copy yours even though It's still not showing up correctly.

Nope didn't do it.

Will do!

Yes. And that is what you see in my first screenshot at right in the Library.

Am I making it more difficult?

I'll be very interested to hear what you find out and not surprised at my ineptness or not!

Well that is just too damn much trouble — experimented with all kinds of numbers but didn't ever get it to move to the right place.

Sometimes I wish we physically drew again and this wasn't a necessary "time saver" evil!

At least I knew what to do then to get what I wanted.

Thanks for attempts.

Ok I get it and will experiment. Just lower the tiles by the offset to get them where I want.

Thanks again DzinEye!

Could you give me a clue so I know why I'm doing what I do? I'm looking up "offset" but don't understand the term in regards to the pattern looking upside down to me.
