Hi Scott,
Your bookcase looks pretty nice. It's a pretty big file for what it is. It could use some improvements in efficiency and you could reduce the number of segments in the various curves without losing any appreciable detail. The bird feeder also looks nice but it could do with some improvements as well. Keep plugging away. It'll come.
What do you suggest on improving efficiency I know the curves on the arc and the moldings have a lot of segements but but that was to decrease the fasisting when machiened on the cnc. Also what are your sugestions on the feeder. It to was drawn up for cnc machining. Thanks for your imput.

I am trying to figure out how to change the wood grain direction in a component? Any ideas?
-
Did you apply the material to the component or the faces in the component?
I've already done a tutorial that covers this here.
-
I applied to the component
-
Thanks Dave
I will try as to your tutorial
Earle -
Don't apply materials to components. Open them for editing and apply the materials to the faces.
-
When I rt. click on a face I do not get the options that you get in your video
-
Exactly! That's because you applied the material to the component and not to the faces inside the component. If you looked at my tutorial you would see that I explicitly explain that.
-
This is indeed strange. When you applied texture to the opened component it applied the woodgrain to all the faces. When I tried the same thing it only applied to one face?
-
It's not that strange. Before applying the material to the faces, I selected all of them. If you triple click on a component with the Select tool, the component will be opened for editing and all of the entities inside will be selected.

Ok Dave I finally got it-I think I'm loosing it-heyhe and thankyou very much,
I also found your video on animation great.
