Applying Object Textures by Class

Object textures can be set by class.

To apply a texture by class:

1.	Select Tools > Organization to open the Organization dialog box.

2.	Select the Details view option, and then select the Classes tab.

3.	Select an existing class or create a new class (see Creating Classes).

4.	With the class selected, click Edit to open the Edit Class(es) dialog box.

5.	The texture properties of the class are set by the tabs on the right. Click the Other tab.

6.	Select the desired Texture from either the default resources or the current file’s resources (see VectorWorks Fundamentals Default Resources). Select Use Textures At Creation to apply the texture to objects as they are created.

7.	Click OK to exit the Edit Class(es) dialog box.

The class displays on the Classes tab of the Organization dialog box.

8.	If the object has not yet been drawn, click the blank area to the left of the Class Name to make the class active.

If the object already exists, apply the class to it.

9.	Click OK to exit the Organization dialog box.

10.	Create the desired object(s). Objects are created with the specified texture for that class.
