I would love to see a selection of rough lumber textures. Plywood, OSB, treated dimensional, rough dimensional, etc..

This would be great for creating o2c framing details and such.

Different finish lumber would be very helpful.

Seamless textures of various cabinet finishes and countertop finishes would be a major plus.

Stainless steel too. The key item here is seamless.

Any chance of a preview pack of the textures in 12 being posted as a teaser? :D

A great source of the very popular and somewhat overused (at least here in SoCal) cultured stone is the Owens Corning StoneCAD CD-Rom. We have adapted many of them for use in our O2C material libraries with great success. I am not sure what arrangements would need to be made, but I can't imagine that Owens Corning would mind having placement in DataCad.

Hello,

Here's a related wish: it would be great if bitmap fills in DataCAD could be tiled! This would let us use tiled textures as SPB fills on an 2D elevation in DataCAD itself. :o
