Deleting surface textures
If you want to change an object’s surface texture, you can simply apply a new texture over
the existing one. Atmosphere Builder keeps track of all the textures for an object, but only
displays the top-most texture. If you delete the top-most texture, you expose the one
beneath it.
To delete a surface texture:
1 Select Browser view, and use the move tool () to navigate to the object you want to
work with.
2 Select the delete texture tool ().
3 Click the object or face whose surface texture you want to delete.
4 Continue clicking to delete underlying surface textures. When you delete all the surface
textures, each face of the object is assigned a random color.
