However, there's something that bothers me about this, I don't know if you noticed, but the wood grain is not running in the correct direction on the top or on the shelves, or on the base. It looks good on the sides. But, no furniture maker would ever have wood grain run this way on such a long plank, it would obviously run the long direction. So, I'd like to correct that, but the way that this dynamic component works is that the materials are being swapped out on the top level here. So it's changing the material assignment at the component level. At the component level, if you right-click, you don't have the ability to adjust texture coordinates. That ability is reserved for the face level, but I know the workaround that I'll show you that will allow us to change the grain direction to our liking. To access this, I'm going to…
