(MED version 6,896) from v A7.5
I have made a sewer, and I use 3 skins for different items there. When I have selected polygons to be skinned by walltexture (1), I have by mistake chosen 2 polygons from a rusty pipe to be skinned by walltexture.
How can I get the 2 polygons to be skinned with the rusty pipe texture?

* To be able to select the polygons in the pipe I would like to reskinn, I have to open the skin walltexture (and then corresponding polygons to that textures are shown in MED.
- I would now want to press EDIT - CREATE 6 SIDED map to skin it, which I can, but the polygon faces are then created on the walltexture skin again.
- if I change the skin in SKIN EDITOR to rusty pipe, the selected 2 polygons disappear from MED, and only the polygons already skinned with rusty pipe are shown.

(according to MED, the 2 polygons are now grouped as group 2 under the walltexture).

What am I doing wrong?

Hi!

Have you tried selecting only the 2 polygons in MED and then
in the skin editor changing there color with the brush?

If you mean to fill the color with PEN or FILL TRIANGLE tool, the answer is no, I wasn´t able.

I must be doing something wrong with the "groups" in this model.
Tried the following with a simple cube!
- create a cube
- add a stone texture
- skin whole cube with stone texture
- I add wood texture
- choose the upper polygons, and skin them with wood texture
- choose one of the upper polygons (now showing wood texture) and choose
stone skin texture and skin it again... and it works fine, the wood texture
can be chosen to stone with no problems...

In the sewer, it seems I have groups, and when clicking on a group in MED, only the skin assaigned to that group is show, and the other way around... if I am in skin editor (with the sewer model) and have stone texture shown, only the polygons active to that texture are shown in MED.

So compared to the cube:
In the cube I was able to choose a selected polygon, and then in skin editor change the skin... and the SELECTED polygon was still selected.
In sewer model, if I have selected the 2 polygons (that have wrong skin) and I go to skin editor and change another skin, the selected polygons "selection disappears" in MED as they do not belong to this new testure.

You can try to merge the groups.

Or, you can select the surfaces that you want to give a different texture, copy them and delete them, then switch to the group with the other texture, and paste the surfaces.

Don't know, whether this works, though.

Hi!

Try this.
In the 3d window of MED rotate your model until you see the 2 polygons in full front view
Select the 2 polygons and lock the selection (They are facing you)
Edit --- Create 6 sided mapping ---Custom --- ok (close)
Go to the skin Editor
You should see this part of your model in selected mode.
Resize
Move to a free area
You should now be able to skin this area.


Let me know if this was the solution

Thx for the help suggestions!
Did as you suggested... what happens here is that the selected polygons (with locked selection and without aswell) do NOT show up when I get to skin editor and open the skin I want... the selection however is visible IN the earlier selected skin (which i would want to get rid from). So I can´t edit or choose the skin I want - it´s like preterminated because i once chose wrong skin.
In a smaller cube model I made the changing of skin worked well... dunno what has happened. I think this is some error with the groups. As suggested before I tried to MERGE GROUPS to try to get rid of this problem... did not help! :-(

Hi!

Can you upload that model somewhere?
I want to try to look at it.
