How do I add wood or grass texture in Autocad 2004?

Hi,

I am new to Autocad 2004 and wish to learn online.

How do I render textures like wood or grass in Autocad 2004.
Must the object be solids in order to render?

Hope to get a reply soon. Thanks.

Yes, you're objects need to be solid or a face to map objects.
As for wood and grass, you need the images for mapping.

One more tip, when mapping textures you may need to segment your 3D elements. For instance, a long rectangle may need to be split into "several cubes" to make a long rectangle. Then you can map the wood texture onto each cube . . . more work but the results may be more realistic. :wink:

Hope that helps. :lol:
