    Hello
    I am working on a project for an art gallery. I am not an architect or
    engineer.
    I have drafted a wall where I will have to place photos from artworks as if
    they were in an exhibit.
    I do not seem to be able or to find out how to orient a texture on a 3D
    face?
    I have images that are to be viewed horizontally and others vertically.
    What are the steps to place correctly a texture? Or I missed something big
    :))
    Thank you
    Yves

    Then listen to Mark Twain who once advised; "blessed is the man, who having
    nothing to say, does not proceed to prove it."
    This led us to consider that if "insanity is being defined as: "repeating
    the same behavior despite consistently obtaining the same undesirable
    results", then 'no one ever won a medal for being in the audience. Which
    could relate to the second law of thermodynamics which can be summarized as
    "you can't get something for nothing."

    The world wouldn't be
    In such a snarl
    If Marx had been Groucho
    Instead of Karl.

    Thank you.

    I'm not too familiar with the render function in acad but I think what
    you need to do is make a 3D object for each picture you want on the
    wall, put these in position and then use the Materials and Materials
    Library functions in the Render toolbar to assign your bitmaps of the
    artwork to the relevant objects. I think the default mapping is
    stretched to fit, but if you have problems you can click on the
    mapping button on the render toolbar and then click on the adjust
    co-ordinates and then adjust bitmap where you can fine tune the image
    placement.

    Hope that's some help
