I have recently bought Iron Perth's Virtual Builder's Studio (VBS) and although I think it could do with a lot more info/help (the YouTube tutorials don't really teach more than basics) I have managed to figure things out and find it a neat tool.

I have though run into a problem and am unsure whether it's something that I've done or a program bug (Iron Perth hasn't answered any IMs I've sent to him before anyone refers me to him).

As users of VBS will know you can texture all internal and external walls at once and have the textures perfectly aligned and sized. The drawback is that you can't individually texture rooms or different parts of the external wall until you finalise the floor plan and it removes all scripts from the walls, otherwise it textures all internal or external walls in addition to the one you want textured.

So after finalising the floor plan and the program getting rid of all the scripts in the walls I set about resizing walls to be contiguous with internal rooms ready for individual texturing. I then ran into this problem when texturing, which I hoping somebody may have some help or advice for.

When I go to texture a wall if the whole prim is selected I have all perms to do what I want. But as soon as I select 'select texture' I lose all perms it says, it's created by nobody and is public owned and that I can only modify it when selecting the whole prim.

If I'm trying to texture an internal wall that has an external face as well then I'm screwed. So is this a flaw in the program or did I do something wrong along the way. I'm hoping the latter otherwise VBS will have to go in the bin if I can't texture different faces independently.

Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions/info :)
