Textures

Textures are used to represent the external surface of building constructions in the rendered views in the Visualisation Screen.

Select the texture file and the real-world width and height represented by the texture. Textures are associated with materials and used to render the model in the Visualisation Screen.

DesignBuilder comes with a library of textures.  Future versions of the software will allow user-defined textures to be added to the library but version 1.0 does not allow this.

Note: If an image does not appear under the Image header this means that the selected file is not installed.

Texture data can be accessed:

• from the Components tab on the opening screen (to view/edit library components if no file is open),
• from the Components tab in the Navigator panel (to view/edit model components if a file is open),
• by double-clicking on the texture icon in the model data,
• by clicking on the Edit button when selecting textures from a list.
