Textures on walls help

When I apply a texture to the interior wall, it changes the exterior as well, is there a way to prevent this? The house originally has different textures on the inside and out.

In the edit window, tick the Select Texture radio button, then you can pick only the face you want to change.

thanks for the prompt reply, let me rephrase my problem here. I can make each side of the wall a different texture but when I change the repeats per face, thats when it changes the other side too. I tried checking select texture and that didnt seem to do anything.

If you used the select texture then obviously you are doing it incorrectly. Check the wiki for a video explaining how. We could all sit here and explain, but it's more of a visual thing really.

Im using it correctly, the texure doesnt change, but when I scale one side, thats when it affects the other side, can you scale only one side? forgive me for being naive, Im not an expert, perhaps you are. How bout a link to the video(s)?

You need to select one face independantly. It shouldn't affect any other faces, unless you are talking about something faceless, like a torus, cylinder, cone, or a sculpted prim, these have no faces like the square and such. I don't have the tuturials on file no, but look on youtube, search for something like 'secondlife' 'help', there's a tonne.

I can't get in world at the moment, so I'm doing this from muscle memory. Hope I get it right.

The typical problem with "Select Texture" (OK, my own typical problem) is that you leave out a step. Click the "select Texture" radio button, then click on the face you want to texture, then click the square display window on the Edit >>Textures page. Select the texture you want to place on the prim face, and then mess with the repeats and offsets.

If you have already set the texture on a face and you then decide to change the repeats and offsets, you still have to set the radio button, click on the face, then the square display window (although you don't have to open the texture picker at this point), and then finally play with repeats and offsets.

If you forget to click on the square display window, you haven't actually selected the face, so your repeat/offset edits apply to the whole prim.

That worked Thank you rolig!

Strangely I have never had to do this, just selecting 'select texture' clicking on the face I want to change as always worked for me, without doing anything else.
