My material is assigned as a lot of identical drawings

Hi!  I need some help with assigning a floor plan as a material. 

So I`m doing 3ds Max 2018 Essential Training on Lynda.com. We are learning how to assign floor plan as a material to created plane. On the tutorial, everything is going great - the first picture. But when I`m doing the same I only get a lot of floor plans that look like a pattern (second image). And I only see them when I scroll a lot.   Must be something wrong with the settings but I have no clue what can it be. 

Would be grateful if anyone can help me

are you talking about you are putting a floor plan in your material slots and then creating a plane and then asssigning that to it? or are you just assigning the materials for example to the floor? i have done the  3ds Max 2018 Essential Training in max 9.

 

from the first image that look like a screen shot of the video correct?

on the second image looks like yours model you have different floor plan?

 

if you only can see the material when scolling try setting up your VGA card inside max and see if that has any effect

Side note i like the compact material editor it's better IMHO

Hi,

 

If your object has a UVW Map modifier, make sure to turn Off  Real-World Map Size,

Also, turn it Off in the Material, Bitmap rollout. After that, the image should map correctly,

If not, in the UVW Map modifier click on Fit Bitmap in the Alignment rollout.
