Can't Attach Image textures

[WanderingMaster]

for the past few years I have used woodworking>set_textures to pin images on objects to create skinned objects. now the tool doesn't work with the usual two button combo, and it confuses the image from the previous model and poses it on top of both PLEASE FIX IMMEDIATELY!!!!

Steps to reproduce
Woodworking>set_textures link the picture, set texture>refresh selection

Expected behavior
the image just appears and is properly aligned with the object as carved. sorry I cant send a sample it's for confidential project

Actual behavior
it works fine for about four separated bodies of a specific part, but after that it just gets confused

Hi @WanderingMaster

This may be due to the fact that the setTextures tool was completely rebuilt and improved some time ago. Now, you can rotate and repeat textures in three coordinate axes, whereas previously, you could only rotate them in two predefined axes. This allows you to much more precisely adjust textures and even create furniture for architectural purposes using only textures. Unfortunately, this approach requires saving a larger number of attributes, and therefore the old attributes may not work.

Regarding the double buttons and the button at the top, it could be a bit confusing. Furthermore, the old version set the color to white by default, and it was impossible to set textures for other object types, like Body. I also fixed a few other bugs.

In my opinion, setting textures works much better now... but if you're having trouble with old models, please add an example. It might be a made-up one, not the secret one. I'll see if I can add some backward compatibility.

Ok it's not letting me upload the test file I made for you I just made 4 shapes and applied each one to one and used that procedure. in some cases I have to press the same button more than once for it to even work, then it just pastes the previous picture not the one I selected, while the links are correct

[WanderingMaster]

sorry it didn't record what I was doing in the report view just what I did in the other one

[WanderingMaster]

the pictures are royalty free

[WanderingMaster]

just realized you wanted a screenshot sorry, now its showing textures I didn't even use

This tool now works slightly differently, which can sometimes be problematic if you're stuck in old habits. I also tend to automatically add textures everywhere instead of to the selected object because I forget that I now have to load the object into memory using the "refresh selection" button.

Now, to load a texture only to a selected object, you need to select the object and then press the "refresh selection" button. In old version it used to be enough to have the object selected and press the appropriate button dedicated to loading the texture only for the selected object.

Unfortunately, this "old approach" prevents you from creating a live texture preview because FreeCAD selects the object in such a way that the texture and colors are invisible, so the object must be "unselected" to preview the texture in real-time.

Your screenshots show "ALL OBJECTS" everywhere. It looks like you didn't load the object.

Ok it's not letting me upload the test file I made for you

You can provide a link to an external server if the file is too large, say Google Drive.

However, I think it would be worthwhile to add some backward compatibility, meaning that old objects with the old attributes would still work as they did before. However, I don't know what to do with the angle attribute, because it was previously stored as radians, and now it stores a value for degrees. It might be difficult to tell whether the value 0.5 refers to radians or degrees.

Also, it might be worth changing the default texture loading method to make it more intuitive and to prevent mistakes when adding test cases to everything.

I just got it I always left the set white unchecked because it interfered in the past now it's like an undercoat that helps make it visible. It's always one little thing. Thank you so much for your time. if you ever get a chance could you post a full tutorial about this tool on youtube to teach others how to do custom textures with this, because the other ones just don't work, but that's their departments.

THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN

I made a few tweaks in my private disk, and now it recognizes the old attributes, allowing you to continue editing the texture with the old attributes. When you save the attributes, the new ones are added to the old ones, and the new attributes are preferred on the next loading (so as not to delete the old ones and accidentally mess something up). So I think now there will be better backward compatibility.

Regarding object loading, the following is now displayed:

• the object label if only one object is selected:

• the text "ALL OBJECTS," and the label of the first object on the list if nothing is selected:

• the text "Multi," and the label of the first object on the list if multiple objects are selected:

Regarding recording a video, I'm picking up the boards from the shop next week and will be making another wardrobe module. If I manage to glue new video before this wardrobe, I'll record it then, and if not, I'll probably record it after I've finished the wardrobe. However, first, I would like to achieve stable setTextures tool to not record new video later again.

I also added support for Current selection option in magicSettings tool. So now if you select Current selection option to Yes the refresh selection button will be disabled and this tool will be working in current selection mode. If you select face only, not the whole object you can even preview the texture changes in real-time.

This is online now, so you can test it. Let me know if now is more handy, so I will start thinking about glue some video.

I'll try it out thanks

[WanderingMaster]

now the problem came back its only changing the previous object that's not selected. also I have to fit it to cube to size the texture to the object I'm making

[WanderingMaster]

no wait I got it I have to press show textures while the object I'm texturing is selected. Thanks again

[WanderingMaster]

also I never knew you could theme the dialog box., it would be great if they could take those themes and apply them to the main interface
