• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Angled textures when Axes adjusted.

Working with SKU 14. I adjust my axes to the angle of the building that I want to design when I place a satellite image and resize it to the best possible measurement. Texturing the sides of the object works fine, but let's a say brick above and below the window or door inset the texture goes on at the original axes angle. In the past I set the side textures as projected and then textured the tops and bottoms of the window or door inset. Worked before, but the project I'm doing now that trick isn't working. So I took a side piece of the side of the object and rotated it so it's a level ground plane. Controlled picked that texture and used that to texture my top and bottom insets. The bottom worked, but not the top. I'll try to get a video up of what I'm talking about. I can't find any other topic of my issue online. It's just frustrating.
 
Here's the problem. Is there a way to change the way the texture goes on after changing the axes without having to turn it manually?
 
Just found out that if I copy and paste the objects into a new Sketchup project that the textures work right. I guess if there's no other way to change that problem I'll just texture the objects in a new Sketchup project.
 
Hi Chris:

When Material texture images are "projected", they are bound to the original Axis orientation in which the 'projection' parameters were created, although they may be applied to directly adjacent Faces which are at a right angle to the original face to which the Material texture image was applied.

This does not work if you apply a copy of a projected Material texture image to an object which is not exactly oriented to the "original" axis of an object.

In those scenarios, one must map a copy of the original projected Material texture image (made via the Material dialog "Create Material" button).

Then remove any "projected" attribute and re-orient / re-position it.

One that is done, one can use the 'projected' texture feature for that object and others with the same exact size and orientation relative to its unique axes. :pushpin:
