Is there a way to change texture origin in the smart walls?

Problem -1st floor wall at 0.0,8.0
floor @ 8.0,8.10
2nd @ 8.10,--

the floor system exterior texture can be set to a corner of the first floor
at a z of 0,0 this will line up the texture with the walls below the second floor texture origin base is a 8.10 (I'm assuming it is at the base of the smart wall)
The chance of a texture with a horizontal elements siding,shakes etc. lining up through floor systems are nil to none. This is not an issue on textures with no horizontal elements ie. stucco.

while proofing I realized this may be a problem on textures with vertical elements as well ie. board and batten

Hi John,

There is not an "open" option actually. But it would be a major improvement, since more expressive textures are allways those extensively elaborated, including tiles and bricks.

Good suggestion. You have all my support for it.

Thanks,
Miguel
