Texture orentation

I have discovered the texture position command to change the direction of wood grain in a drawing. The problem is that when I open a component and then select the face and right mouse click sometimes the command is there as an option and sometimes it is not. I can not for the life of me understand why it works sometimes but not others. I have tried orient face or reverse face but the command seems to show up when it wants to.

I think this happens when you apply a texture to a whole component, rather than to a single face inside the component.

You may also want to check out another plugin, called Texture Helper.

This plugin will rotate the texture in a single click. Again, it will only work on textures that are added to a face, not to a whole component. CB.

It looks like if I rotate the texture before it is a component then once it is converted to a component the texture can be rotated at will. Strange

That is indeed what happened. Thanks for the plugin info

Or apply the textures to individual faces inside the component after it's been created.
