ChiefUserBPG Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 I am trying to create custom textures, and have followed the steps in this article: https://www.homedesignersoftware.com/support/article/KB-01202/importing-and-creating-custom-library-materials.html and also in the Reference Manual. I am using HDPro 2022. I have .jpg images from Cambridge Pavers, like this one: I have saved them in `C:\Users\Brian\Documents\Home Designer Pro 2022 Data\Textures`. But when I first tried to use them they were white, I played with some settings and used "Set Using Texture" under Material Color in the Texture Panel, as shown here: That gave me the color I was looking for (or close enough), but just a color - arrow #1 below. Then in the Pattern Panel, I selected a Pattern Type from the Library and I got arrow #2 below: Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated!

ChiefUserBPG Posted September 6, 2022 Author Share Posted September 6, 2022 How's this for a question: "I would like to use a .jpg for the texture in the 3D rendering of my design of a retaining wall, but the instructions provided didn't work, has anyone else experienced this? Is there a better post with instructions?" Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefUserBPG Posted September 6, 2022 Author Share Posted September 6, 2022 Solved! It was not a problem with creating a Custom Material in the Library it was how it was rendering. I played with some settings and went to 3D -> Rendering Techniques and it was set to Vector View, when I changed it to Standard View it displayed as expected: If anyone from Chief is monitoring, this article should be updated (there are already about 6 "notes"): https://www.homedesignersoftware.com/support/article/KB-01202/importing-and-creating-custom-library-materials.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
