dishwasher panel  problem.jpg

 

Hi

 

I am trying to design a kitchen and i downloaded a dishwasher.  I am trying to add the panel texture where you can see the switch on/off buttons and other functions.

To do that, i uploaded the image that comes with the dishwasher family but the uploaded image was showing multiple times like a tile, so I was editing the panel material by clicking material browser=> Apperance=> Generic-Image=> Texture editor. I entered the right measurements in the scale section and disabled the tile selection under the repeat. 

 

It looks perfect in the texture editor but after I click done and apply. The panel is still tiled showing multiple textures and the image in the appearance tab is not updating from the texture editor.

Have you seen it in the actual family in the project? Maybe it is just the preview that was wrong. You can also use the image as a decal instead of a material.

Are you editing this in the family or project? Might be a display bug, would save and close to see what it does when opening up again.

Tile the Image and paint it on a 52.50cm x 9.80 cm surface - or use it as the Material for a 52.50cm x 9.80 cm Geometry (e.g. solid extrusion).

FWIW: when I bring the image into a Project as a Decal with locked proportions, the height is 9.015cm (not 9.80cm) with width at 52.50cm.
