inserting a window breaks custom texture
Hi there,
Whenever I insert a window in one of the walls, it breaks up the texture of that wall. The wall has a custom texture of an image. The window breaks up the image.

Re: inserting a window breaks custom texture
Richard:
What happens is this: every time you insert an object in a wall, SH3D (internally) begins a new wall segment. That means that it also re-starts the texture. It is this effect that you have noticed.
If it is important that the texture is seamless, you can make a tailor-made texture for that wall. See this manual .
Another solution would be to insert the window at the exact start of a new texture. Maybe using a close-up view of the textured wall will allow you to place the window (or door) on the exact right place.

Note that texture still breaks at each wall. So if you divide a wall in two parts, the texture will restart on the second wall.
