On most sides just not all.. huh ? If you have a perfectly textured cut prim and apply this tool.. it completely destroys several sides.
Is this some kind of malfunction?

Do you mean...if you unhollow or uncut it "forgets" the repeats and texture....I think that's a feature. Less stuff to keep track of and all.

I don't understand the question.

Prims have their sides numbered.
making it hollow or patch cut randomizes that face numbering order just as much as changing the prim type.
The holes texturing changes with hole size and patch cut parameters.
One thing doesnt change, scaling ratio should be 1:4 for the hole as if 1:1 is the average on the outsides.

From: Kornscope Komachi I don't understand the question. The texture math gets messed up when you use the Repeat per meter tool in edit. I was wondering if that was a mistake or a problem ad if there are any ways around it. |

I've never known the "Repeats per Meter" option to be reliable. It's always screwed up any texturing I was attempting.

It's always screwed up any texturing I was attempting. it works fine on the front of the prims only.. so you can do a facade all at once .. but if you are anal and want to have inside textures where they meet properly sized you need to do it manually.. I am glad I am not a builder is all I have to say... no wondewr they never leave their skyplatforms to come out and play |

Repeats Per Meter has always been buggy with standard mapping. Often it will only get the math right in one dimension, leaving the texture squished or stretched along the other dimension. With planar mapping, it works perfectly, but with standard, it screws up all the time.

I noticed that with planar you are in fractions. |

There's no such thing as a stupid question.  When you switch from default to planar mapping, the RPM becomes double whatever the RPF was before the switch. It's pretty silly. It would be nice if it were to take into account the size of the prim, and calculate on the fly so that the displayed size of the texture remains the same when you switch, but it doesn't. You have to do that yourself.
