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.
