Adjusting offset
A texture can be moved so its pattern wraps around an object or surface to produce the
appearance you wish. For example, you may want to move the texture on a slab surface so
a specific portion of the texture pattern is on the main horizontal surface, while the less
aesthetic portion of the pattern wraps onto the side edge.
To specify texture offset in the Variable Tools palette:
1 Select Browser view.
2 Select the texture you want to scale in the Variable Tools palette.
3 In the Object Inspector palette, make sure the Scaling Type is set to the mode you wish
to edit in. See “Scaling modes” on page 47.
4 Specify an offset value by dragging the Offset U (horizontal) and Offset V (vertical)
sliders, or entering values in the Offset U and Offset V text boxes.

edit.
