Menu : TEXTURE

Command: Area:Placement

Shortcut : None

This command changes the position of a previously defined texture area. Before executing the command, you should select as the target object either the texture area, or the surface. If the selected surface has several textures, DeskArtes asks you which texture area you wish to alter.

If the texture area is defined on just one surface (not an element), the system asks for its placement on the surface using one of the following options:

  • Center point - The texture area is positioned by pointing at the center of the desired location and clicking with the left mouse button. Next, show the placement of the texture’s upper right corner with the left mouse button.
  • Around - The texture area is positioned over the entire cross-wise section of the surface. The texture borders in the lengthwise surface direction are shown by pointing at the bottom and top of the texture area on the surface with the left mouse button. This is useful for creating bands of patterns around an object.
  • Numeric - The texture area is positioned numerically. The parameters requested are the minimum and maximum values of the texture area in each direction of the parameter plane.
