Brilliant. As an AutoCAD user I made just the same trick to my renderings wiht fabric, woods, masonary, etc (am an interior design). Hope to be able to make the same in VIZ, one day. But in some sample maps there is a catch. When, as in fabrics or wood flooring the stitching of the smalll maps has to be done with care so that some unwanted "joints" won't be noticed. And in AutoCAD, larger maps are very hard on memory comsumption...is there the same problem in VIZ? Apologising in advance for my poor english. iris7
