Importing mtextur

An mtextur texture can be imported into Vectorworks (internet access required) as a texture, an image file, and/or a material resource. Many of the textures have the reflectivity, transparency, and bump shaders needed for a detailed texture; material properties include construction and physical data, and you can attach a record to add custom information. When additional information such as manufacturer name, and so on, is available in the mtextur resource, this information is included as a searchable tag in the Resource Manager for the imported texture, image file, and/or material resource.

Imported materials (Design Suite required) and textures can be adjusted as needed (see Edición de materiales and Editing textures and shaders).
