Tapered In-Place Wall Rotating Materials

I modeled an in-place tapered retaining wall with a curved segment, and in realistic mode the stone veneer is rotated about 20° on the curve, and rotated 90° on one of the straight segments (see screen shot). Is there a fix for this? I modeled all of the stone towers in the project the same way, and none of them rotated the stone. 

 Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Duplicate the material and then rotate the duplicate's image 20 degrees. Use that new material for your retaining wall. Wouldn't that work?

Make your sweep a little longer than needs to be and cut the end with a void - all in one sketch.

 

FYI, you don’t need to cut the end. The sweep could be cut anywhere even a small piece of a void buried inside the wall somewhere will do the job, but I think cutting the end makes sense in this case.

 but it isn't a hatch pattern, @PijPiwo. It's a material image.

Wow, I didn't know this trick worked with materials! Wicked Cool! Thanks for posting it, @PijPiwo. You're the man!  

 

Cheers

@PijPiwo, thank you! I admit I didn't think that was going to work, but it worked beautifully. I was thinking that I was going to have to model the retaining wall in segments and duplicate material for each to get it right.

That is the way I would have done it. You can rotate the image. You have to duplicate the image tab as well.

PijPiwo,

 

Wow! What a great trick!

 

How did you learn about it? Do you have any link to an explanation of what is going on here?

I’ve read about it a few years back on one of the forums. I believe it was Steve Stafford’s post, but I’m not sure how he learnt about it or came up with this. I don’t have any explanation for this behavior and I don’t think anybody has.

 

…yeah, using a void to fix the material orientation!!!??? … wtf, lol? …it doesn’t make any sense at all, right? Who would’ve thought?  I wonder who came up with this first though.

That's who I first learned it from: Steve Stafford. Think he called it "quirky" or something like that. It was a few years ago.

I think it has something to do with UVW mapping of materials which Revit does not provide any control over.  So, tricks like this are golden to keep inside our sleeve.
