Hi everyone,
We’re currently trying to improve the quality of our wood finishes and colour textures to achieve a more realistic look in our renderings.
We’ve taken some high-resolution photos of real materials to use as textures, but we’re facing a common issue:
visible tiling and repeating seams, particularly noticeable in wood grain patterns. Even with good lighting and high-res images, it’s clear where the image repeats — which really hurts the realism.
We’re looking for advice on a few things:
How do you usually prepare seamless textures from real materials?
Are there any recommended standards (resolution, scale, aspect ratio) that work well with 2020 Design?
What’s the best workflow or tools to make wood textures tile properly without visible repetition?
Does anyone have a sample wood texture and scale settings that worked well in a project?
We’d love to hear how others in the community handle this – any tips, resources, or examples would be a huge help!
Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone,
I’m wondering if anyone else has run into this issue:
I am working on a project for UK (metric) client. I’ve switched to metric in preferences and layout/elevation measurements have updated. Cabinet attributes are still showing inches. It’s important that I get down to the mm on the cabinets as this is a custom job. On some cabinets modifying to 1/8″ and what not gets me close, but not exact. I’ve had no luck in this updating. The cloud catalogs are also not allowing me to edit to the mms I need. Feeling a bit stuck…any tips?
Thanks in advance.

Hi gang,
We just switched to V13, and I’m finding the jobs we designed in V12 have missing doors and drawerfronts, even though the Styles and Pricing is fully populated. What cabinet company I’m designing doesn’t seem to matter.
Also, many cabinet pulls are offset by 50% to the left?!
My understanding was that V12 and V13 were fully backwards/forward compatible. I can’t redesign all those kitchens again in V13 just to have a usable render. Any tips or tricks?
All the kitchens designed *in* V13 are mostly fine…. though some larger drawerbanks do have the offset pull issue.
Cheers,
Ariana

Here are some troubleshooting tips for issues creating elevations or generating hardware with Kimball XSEDE and CAP Complete:
– Make sure you are using the latest version of Kimball and that any add-ins are up to date. Older versions can cause compatibility issues.
– Verify all required Kimball licenses are active. The automation tools may require specific licensed products to run properly.
– Check that your CAP Complete template is configured correctly and contains the necessary views, layers, and properties. Improperly setup templates can prevent automation.
– Try adjusting settings in the Kimball Automation dialog like units, level of detail etc. The defaults may not work for your specific project.
– Examine the log files after a failed operation for any errors. This can indicate where the process is getting stuck.
– Reach out to Kimball technical support and provide reproduction steps. They can troubleshoot better with your specific project files.
– As a workaround, try generating elevations or hardware manually first to isolate if it is solely an automation issue.
Carefully inspecting licenses, template setup, settings, and error logs should help identify where the automation is failing. Don’t hesitate to leverage Kimball support – they can better examine your files for the root cause.

Anyone have any sort of tips or secrets to get this feature to actually work? Design crashed (again) after 2 hours of work on a design and my last recovery file is from yesterday and the only one prior to that was from the day before. Neither of the recovery files are for the design that I have been working on though. The only files that 2020 is trying to save as recovery files are blank “Design 1” designs. 2 days of working on a job and not a single recovery file has been autosaved.
