I loaded an existing model with walnut material. It’s actually a model where I need the figure in the wood rotated 90 degrees to the way Shapr3D chose to orient it. I selected the face and toggled the Auto Match Body and the material changed appearance slightly but did not rotated as needed. My qu…

Seems that material grain aligns with the y axis. Try creating your model so that it also aligns the same way. You will be able to rotate it later with the option to change the grain direction by checking/unchecking the ‘auto match to body’ check box. [Material Grain along y axis] Th…

Helps a lot. Thanks! I can work with that with a little planning. The toggle “Auto Match to Body” seems poorly named - works more like “Align Material with Y-Axis” :slight_smile: Having direct controls to Rotate, Move and Scale the material - including user supplied - is the real answer.

Agreed. The ability to scale/rotate textures and even apply custom textures/images is something I used a lot in SketchUp and sorely miss :slightly_frowning_face:

I’ve just tried the texture orientation feature in the new release. I can’t find commands for rotation and mirror functions. Please don’t tell me they have been left out. Please nooooo!!!
