Shower Pan

[Lori123]

Hi everyone, I have a question. I am new to using the Chief program and am using premium 4x. Now for my question .. when I want to change the material of my shower pan it lets me in the material box of the pan but it isnt showing in my 3D view. Also when I am in 3D view its not showing that I have tiles on the floor just colour but in vector view it shows the tiles??

 

Any help would be appreciated as I have a presentation to do at the end of the week

Thanks

In Standard Render the "Texture" is what shows.  In Vector Render the "Pattern is what shows.  Your material must define both of these.  You may also have "Painted" the Shower Pan - which covers the material texture.

Thanks Joe,

but still having problem showing the floor is tile. Iv'e changed the pattern type to tile origin x = 12  and y = 24 and in texture  mapping scale I set to the same 12 x 24 is this what you meant?

Post a pic of the Material dbx.

have you perhaps toggled the textures off in the standard camera view by accident?  

 

on

off

Thank you Kbird1 that's exactly what I did. I have only be on the program for a few weeks and still learning. I think alot of practice is in need for me. But I have done a few floor plans that turned out ok,

Watch the icons on the bottom of the RH side toolbar too then, as they are mostly toggles too and easily clicked by accident. eg your grid, temp. dims,snaps etc
