How to put the grain direction of the wood in the right direction on a profile

Hello

I think the question is about the orientation of the textures, you have to go to the Appearances PropertyManager, which is symbolized by this icon:

Then in the Projection tab, then in Size orientation.

Finally, you can adjust the Rotation  (Spherical, Cylindrical and Projection only). Rotates the texture relative to the axes

Hello

 

You have to go to the appearance pane of your room, go to the wood texture you added.

Then you go to projection, and you select the projection parameter that suits you.

 

You give it a try, and then you can manage the angle just below.

 

Edit: Basically, what @Pl just explained. Sorry =)
