TUTORIAL 3 (Adding Textures)
Textures are two-dimensional images that are wrapped around a 3D model. The process of
adding textures to the 3D model involves selecting an image and mapping it onto the 3D
model. As you add a texture, SolidWorks increases or reduces the image size, rotates, and
patterns it to completely cover the part geometry.
