Display Tiles texture in plan view

How do we display tile textures in plan view?

No texture...can show patterns using the room fill dbx.

Thanks guys

Something worth looking at is an orthographic floor overview / top direction. This will display the materials and their patterns. Quicker than using room fill.

I have the fill saved in my library. One click. And I use in on Con Docs so the orthographic isn't a great option for those. In my opinion.

Ahh, yes, I wasn't thinking of it as a use for Con docs, more along the lines of a marketing plan is what I had in my mind.

I already have the cameras I mentioned in my template plan so they exist in every project. I believe I'd access this view type with less clicks assuming my project browser and your library are already opened.

I also have a library of frequent room fills and I'd recommend other users do the same.

Without going on too long on this subject, one of the nice things about the camera view is being able to edit patterns / textures simultaneously, including making copies of materials to adjust direction & orientation, which can have a spin-off benefit for all other camera views.
