      Hi
      I have created a terrain from contours that I have imported from cad.
      Then I added some texture on that terrain let's say (Sketchy_Stone_Ashlar)
      I notice that on each polygon of the terrain the orientation of the texture changes.
      Any ideas how can I fix this?

        Have you tried selecting all the terrain and smoothing it to a single mesh?

          Try this.

          Turn on hidden geometry. Then select a single face of the terrain. Then right click on it and select "Texture>Projected". Then activate the paint bucket tool. Hold down alt (on a PC) to get the eye-dropper tool. Then click on that face with the eyedropper tool to "sample" it. Now that textured, set to to projected, is the active texture in the paintbucket. Now select the rest of the terrain. And apply the material to it. That should straighten it out hopefully.

            I do something similar to what Chris has just suggested: I make a horizontal rectangle, apply the texture to it, select projected, sample the texture, and apply it to the terrain.
