      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.

              Don't apply materials to components. Open them for editing and apply the materials to the faces.

                  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.
