    Auto rotate image.

    Okay I think I am catching on. One problem I'm having though is that I created a new picture in my images folder just like the video said, but I have no check box to keep the picture from rotating in 3d view. It is a photo of a store front that I want to place on the front of the building I created. I did a search on the forum and saw a post that said some versions didn't support this feature. Please, please tell me there is a way to do this.

    Also the actual storefront of the building is larger than the building itself. Therefore I don't think I could place it as a texture (guessing that the program will do that)unless I could make the wall invisible or something.

    I don't think suite has the check box for making an image non-rotating. You could always try creating a big soffit and using the image as a material on the soffit.

    Soffit worked. Although I had to move the building to line up with the pattern repeat.
    Thanks

    Hi 57;

    Before you give up on the image idea, I have a few different versions of the software and the box that you are referring to is in there. You are looking on the Image Specification Box, right? Also I found that if you go to Build\Image\Create Image rather than the folder provided in the software, you can store them in a file under My Documents. Sometimes a picture can be too big and takes a while for the picture to come up when you store them in the folder in the software. Check it out and let me know how that worked out for you.
