7) Add texture to your model.

In order to add texture to the model we need to find its material names.

1) Copy your model to a new directory.
2) Open the toolbox. (Lower left corner of the window)
3) Select the option “Show materials in model”.
4) Record the relevant material names.
5) Add your texture files to the directory created in step 1.
6) Assign the material names from step 4 to your texture files.
7) Zip the directory.
8) Open the zip file in BIM2XR as described in the previous tutorial.

Example using FZK-Haus.

  1. Download FZK-Haus.zip
  2. Copy FZK-Haus.zip to your preferred storage media.
  3. Unzip FZK-Haus.zip
  4. Note the texture files that have been added. (ignore the csv file for now).
  5. Open the IFC file with BIM2XR and note that the model has no texture.
  6. Open the zip file with BIM2XR and note that texture has been added.
