Pro/E and Textures

Pro/E and Textures

Pro/E and Textures

(OP)
I work for the Army's Night Vision Lab and have created a model of a Humvee.  When I try to apply texture files (i.e. pics of the right side, left side, etc.) to the various surfaces using Pro/E, I am getting triangulated areas where the texture is missing.  Also when I add the same texture to several places, such as the wheels, some of those already done disappear when I add a new one.

I have tried various formats for the files (.rgb, .jpg, .tif) but that doesn't seem to help.

Any clues as to what the problem could be?

Thanks

RE: Pro/E and Textures

Copy the surfaces you are applying texture to, merge these surfaces together into one quilt then apply the texture. This will allow you to specifically group surfs together. If you have regular solid surfs in the same plane Pro will color them the same. Making quilts will avoid this.

Thanks for the tip.  I will try it!
