Why does Foreground Pattern Rotates when you Pan in 3D View?

[pearlofsadness]

Anyone knows how to fix the graphic foreground pattern? It keeps rotating whenever I do a 3D Panning...

SettingsAlignment I wantedAlignment changes when I pan in 3D

I found the solution to my silly problem!

I clicked on the floor > Edit Type > Edit Structure > Material Column > Under Graphics > Surface Pattern > Foreground Pattern and that’s where I chose my pattern. BUT I chose Drafting Pattern INSTEAD of Model Pattern! It should be Model Pattern as Drafting Pattern not only does it rotate when the views moves, the scale of the pattern also doesn't change, so those tiles will look huge on a 1:100, but tiny on a 1:5.

You want to use Model Pattern if you want the pattern to Scale. The Drafting Pattern won't Scale.  Also, that Drafting Pattern distortion is only a 3D Phenom.

if for some reason you want to use a Drafting pattern.... if you set the pattern orientation to Align with Element, it should work too.

Wow I didn't know about this!! Thanks a lot 😄

That doesn't work for Surface Patterns.  Only Cut Patterns.

I Stand Corrected (hangs head low....) you are correct 🙂 

i had used that before, but in retrospect, typically for wall cut patterns.

Thanks a lot! 😄

Has anyone figured out how to resolve this issue? Regarding Surface Patterns.
