Texture Roller Settings
Configure a roller's source layout, relief, end rims, and axle hole.
These controls appear only for the Texture Roller type. Texture Rollers require Cookiecad Premium.
Source size
Source size scales one copy of the uploaded image, not the finished roller. Use Longest side for proportional scaling or Width and height for exact source dimensions. The aspect lock preserves the image proportions while you edit either dimension.
The finished roller grows with the repeat counts, blank border, and end rims.
Blank border
Roller padding (in V7, Blank border) adds blank space around each source copy. It separates neighboring copies and adds space at the pattern boundaries. The default is 0 mm.
Rotate 90 degrees
Rotate source image (in V7, Rotate 90°) swaps which source direction runs along the roller and which wraps around its circumference. Rotation happens before the repeats are laid out.
Pattern
- Repeat keeps every copy in the original orientation.
- Brick offsets alternating around-roller rows by half a source width.
- Mirror flips alternating copies along both layout directions.
For Brick and Mirror, an odd Repeats around value greater than one is increased to the next even number so the pattern closes across the seam.
Repeats
Repeats along (in V7, Along length) controls how many copies run from one end of the roller to the other. Repeats around (in V7, Around roller) controls how many copies wrap around its circumference. Both default to 1 and accept values from 1 through 32.
Pattern relief
Raised adds the traced pattern above the roller surface. Engraved cuts the pattern into the surface.
Imprint depth and depth curve
The Stamp section supplies the roller's Stamp imprint depth (in V7, Imprint depth) and optional Depth curve. Stamp imprint depth defaults to 3 mm. A non-flat curve can target holes, filled regions, or both.
Center depth curves is available when the curve targets Both. It places the curves directly on the cylinder wall and disables Stamp back thickness, Pattern relief, and Invert pattern while active.
Invert pattern
Invert pattern swaps the traced regions used by the roller. The Stamp section's separate Invert control is disabled for Texture Rollers; use this switch instead.
Delete outer edge
The Stamp section can remove a supported outside traced boundary from the roller pattern. Availability depends on the design's nested path structure. Texture Rollers do not show the separate method selector used by Imprint Cutter, Stamp, and Cutter + Stamp.
End rims
End rims add raised bands at both ends of the cylinder. They are on by default. Rim width (in V7, Width) controls how far each band extends along the roller axis; Rim height (in V7, Height) controls how far it rises from the roller surface. Defaults are 2 mm wide and 0.8 mm high.
Axle hole
Axle hole diameter (in V7, Diameter) sets the opening through the roller. The default is 8 mm. Set it to 0 for a solid center. If the requested hole is too large for the current roller diameter, Cookiecad limits it to preserve at least 0.8 mm of outer wall.
