ADDING TEXTURED PATTERN
ADDING TEXTURED PATTERN
(OP)
Is there a function for adding a textured pattern to a part, such as adding a Mold-Tech pattern. I'm not just talking about a visual texture as provided by the SW textures... I'm referring to adding a real (physical) texture... I know at one time there was talk of adding a mold tech functionality.......
Thanks in advance.

Adding a physical texture to a model will be a HUGE resource hog.

dgowans... yes I realize the file size would be fairly large....but the client has requested the addition of a textured pattern. It would be great to be able to "map" a textured pattern over a surface, without having to build it in a labor -time intensive activity.
Thanks.

For your sake I hope you don't have to go this route, and if you do I hope you just need to texture a planar surface.......

No one would ever want to model a texure (depending on what it is) in the CAD file, it's the mold or pattern makers responsability to add it too the mold. My monitor has a textured finish and I wouldn't even know where to begin to model it. I'm not even sure it would be possible.
