  1. For the hell of it, I rotated it 180 and it still looks incorrect.
  2. Yes it rotates. if it looks the way I want it to in the Plan Materials box, how do I know how to rotate it or what offset to enter?
  3. Ignore previous 2 entries. I'm looking at how to edit and hope it helps!
  4. I don't understand your suggestion Alaska?
  5. How do I open the Define material again?
  6. X12 iMac Mojave Anyone know why my material may be coming in upside down — notice in screenshot that it is correct in Library. Also making extra tile rows that are not in my jpg exported from Adobe ID. I have unchecked Retain Aspect ratio and input exact size of wall that tile goes on in tub area. Also did that in ID creating image at same size as wall. For clarification, gold tile meant to sit at tub with diagonal decos and off whites going to the ceiling.
  7. Your avatar (solver — is that the right term?) is perfect! Thank you!
  8. Oh maybe it's a scale issue — just looked at it and see that it isn't correct which looks to be what you are suggesting.
  9. How do I get to where I can edit the imported texture? Or do I just need to import again? I have attempted to make signature numerous times and nothing shows up on my entry so that's why I said I give up.
  10. Oh jeez! Does it ever get easier? So if anyone is still in the mood to help, see how in the screenshot the image in the Library isn't the same as what was painted on the backsplash? I made it 19" high in InDesignIsecond screenshot) so why isn't it correlating appropriately? What have I done now? Do I have to do it one by one in CA?
  11. Thank you all for your help! Visuals are the name of the game — she didn't like the randomness of the pattern and couldn't see it until it was larger and in the Kitchen. Viola! Chief Talk and you all are my saviours!
  12. Thank you! i just sent a text to my client asking if she likes it because I don't want to go any further if she doesn't!
  13. As per usual, my ignorance may prevail; however, will I be able to "cut" tiles in the backsplash as needed? I have my pattern set in ID but need to make it so that I can join the pattern as necessary. I'm liking the way my pattern is showing up with clear tile images since I took them from photos rather than screenshots.
  14. I have a pattern but it is not seamless. So all I know to do is make other collections in InDesign so that I can make the tiles match (ie. pattern shown won't match in the corner now).
  15. Thanks robdyck! What you've shown creates a symmetrical repeat which I don't want. I seem to always complicate things automatically!
  16. Yes! How did you get an image of the icon? So my tiles are jpegs and I gather they need to be something different? Oh yes, I see in my other client file that they were PDF's. So I'm making a backspl. with grout in Adobe InDesign. I'm going to check out now so I can walk my dog. I'll be back at it tomorrow and give a report. You all are awesome and I have to say, though I get super frustrated, this is much better than VectorWorks! thank you ,thank you, thank you!
  17. Love the baby face! So just send his plan back with my images in it? At the moment, I don't have the tiles in the browser because I didn't bring them in @ 45º.
  18. DzinEye, when i attempt to put the tile in your plan or mine, I get an "I" in a white circle w/ seriph unlike what is shown here. When I try to take a screenshot to send to you, the cursor makes the I in the circle go away so I'm not able to show you what it looks like and the tile doesn't come into the plan? i have been successful with other brought in images (fabrics, etc.) so not sure what is not working now?
  19. I'll attempt a grout line in AI so it's all one package!
  20. I used Mac photo edit to crop so they are perfectly square. I don't have any grout line since I have photos of each tile. Taking screenshots makes for fuzzier pics. Not sure how I'm going to show the client a terra cotta grout but I'll take that on once I get a damn pattern for the backsplash!
  21. Ok that's what I'm doing now with individual tiles and Adobe AI. I'll see how far I get and check back.
  22. I don't despise the idea but don't understand. In CA, how do I make a special layer? I have the tiles in the Library Browser. Where do I go from there?
  23. Ok I'll take your word for it since it's obvious from my post, I'm kind of clueless! Stay healthy and fear-less!
  24. Ok I guess I just have to play with it because I am still not understanding the specifics of what you are saying. I'll start with blocks of 9 tiles and import to browser. Seems crazy to pay this much for a program and have it be so time-consuming! I very much appreciate your giving me your time in this!
