Same Floor Different Texture Angle? How Do I Copy Rename That Zip File?

[zowie123]

Hi,

So two floor areas meet at different angles.  

I thought I'd copy the texture file and rename so I could change the angle of one.  But it's a zipped texture file and I can't locate it through the Define Materials, Texture Source window.  

 

I guess I really don't know how to do what I want do do..

Anyone out there have a better way?

 

Thank you, B

 

This is the file I want to change angles on: C:\Users\Barry\Documents\Chief Architect Premier X6 Data\Templates\TemplateTextures.zip#zip:Medium-r(80).jpg

Zowie,

 

No need to edit the texture file.

You can do it all directly with the material that contains the texture.

 

Go 3D...Materials...Plan Materials.

Select the material.

Copy.

On the Texture Panel Change the Angle.

Do the same for the pattern.

Change the material name if you want.

OK out.

 

The new rotated material will now be available in Plan Materials.

Save it to your library for future use if you want.

To assign the new rotated material to a different area of the SAME FLOOR (within the same room definition), you can use a material region.
