stone pattern in vector view

[DenisonDrywall]

How do I get a stone pattern to show up in the vector view of an elevation? currently only the siding shows up.

You need to assign a Pattern to the Material.  Basically there are Hatch Patterns for this in the Chief Folders.

How do i do that? "Help" isn't being very helpful today.

 

Thanks!

Or you choose a stone that has a pattern.

i guess those stones from the manufacturer catalogues don't have patterns in them.

Some do not  (ledgestone?)  but culture stone should.

If you are using something like a Coronado stone that doesn't have a pattern associated with it, you can be a bit naughty and use a pattern from the Cultured Stone catalogue.

You aren't restricted to the Chief patterns.

 

I mean that you can use a Coronado texture and assign just the Cultured Stone pattern to that Coronado texture. 

 

Assign a Coronado stone material to your wall.

You will get a stone texture in a Standard view, but just a plain color in vector view. 

In a 3D view, select the stone texture with the Adjust Material Definition tool (rainbow tool).

Go to the Pattern panel...Pattern Source.

Select Use Custom Pattern File.

In the box below, Custom Pattern Options, Browse to the Cultured Stone folder in the Patterns folder and open it. 

 

You can now choose a Cultured Stone pattern and assign it to your Coronado stone texture.
