how to match the viewport texture to the assigned texture?

We have probably gone over this, but right now can not find a post that specifically shows me how to do this. I have a texture applied to a board and renders correctly, but is oriented 90 degrees off in the viewport. If I click on the object, the correct orientation shows, but just as soon as I move my mouse it turns to the viewport (90 degrees rotated) texture. How can I get the viewport to match the rendered texture? Really sorry if you've already answered this a dozen times, but I need your help :oops:

Really, that sounds to me like a problem where Rhino's not getting along with your video card. You're using the Rhino V5 WIP here, correct?

Yes, the latest v5 wip. Weird, now it's behaving, but will check to see if I have the same problem in v4 next time it occurs.

I've seen this behavior before (very rarely). It could be a rhino problem. The good thing is: as long as the object is selected, the correct orientation is shown.

Best thing would be if you could possibly catch this with a screen recorder. It sounds like some sort of viewport caching problem: you set a mapping and that gets cached; you then rotate it 90° and that shows up in the viewport, but the old mapping is still in the cache; when you manipulate an object in the viewport, the old cache is used, for whatever reason, showing the 'old' non-rotated version. That's just a wild guess; like I say, a screen recording would be the best thing -- I'll take a look, and if it seems not to be caused by the plugin, then Jeff LaSor (the Rhino display guy) would want to see it.
