Hi anyone here knows how to make a flag pole. I made a family resulting to this (see image below). Just trying to make a simple flag. How to make the image not set into tile appearance. Thank you.

If you do it by By Material Browser ,then it's OK how you did..

No tile
Adjust the Scale to fit your object
Adjust the Offset of the mapped image
- from my experience , if you work in metric, you have to adjust this offset:
  - turn the Preview >Scene to Canvas to have a visual control of what you do, and change the Offset value so to look OK in this Preview. For me , it works well if this offset is : X = -Half Scale value and Y = - Half Scale value

Another way , more simple ( if you do not work in Revit LT) is to use a Decal

Revit tiling is terrible. It doesn't placed the image from origin point and place it in the middle of the surface. So I would keep it tile and then just change the offset to half of width and height. As a result, you should see flag fill in the entire model.
