Face appearance and texture position

Give selected faces their own appearance and position a pattern or photo without changing the object shape.

In Reshape, face appearance applies to the selected faces rather than the whole object. Use the current face Fill controls for the surface appearance. Texture position adjusts an existing pattern or photo: its size, offsets and rotation. It does not create geometry or make an untextured face into a textured one.

1

Select the faces

Open a supported object in Reshape and select the face or faces to change. Check the selection before changing appearance; a whole-object selection and a face selection affect different scopes.

2

Edit the face fill

Use Fill in the face Inspector to choose the appearance available for that face. The shared appearance controls determine the supported fill and material options. Apply a compatible pattern or photo before trying to position it.

3

Open Texture position

Choose Texture position on a face with a pattern or photo. The Tool Guide shows Width, Height, Offset across, Offset along and Rotation. With Keep proportions enabled, changing the width adjusts the height proportionally.

4

Drag or type the layout

On a flat face, use the handles to move, turn and resize the pattern, or enter values in the Tool Guide. On curved faces, canvas move and alignment are unavailable; use the panel's size, offset and rotation fields or match another layout.

5

Match, apply or cancel

Choose Match from face… and pick a source face to copy its layout. Choose Done to commit a changed layout; Enter also applies it when you are not editing a field. Esc cancels the current interaction. Undo reverses a committed change.
