Library Material & Elevation not syncing

[creatrix]

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!

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

The view on the top looks like it is using the standard render technique.  The view on the bottom looks like it is using the vector view render technique.

 

Render views will display textures and vector views will display patterns.

 

It looks like your material has a texture but no pattern.  If you want it to display a pattern in vector views, you will need to add one.  You also need to make sure that the layer for patterns is turned on.  You also need to make sure that your pattern lines are not the same color as your material.

 

More information about materials can be found in this video series:

If that doesn't help, then you should either post a plan or contact technical support for additional help.

Make sure you have "Toggle Patterns" ON:

 

 

 

 

"Toggle Patterns" command can also be found under the "3D" Menu.

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!

Just an FYI, the "Toggle Patterns" tool will just turn on/off the layer called "Patterns, 3D Views".

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!

Is that a PC thing, or new to X13? Because on my end, turning off the layer called "Patterns, 3D Views" doesn't change the view, it just reverses the function of the Toggle Patterns tool. Which is really weird.

You probably need to Rebuild 3D manually, something the Toggle Patterns tool seems to do for you.

 

Yeah I just hit the Toggle button and it changes. And the Toggle button does not affect the "Patterns, 3D View" Layer checkmark.
