What Architextures is
Architextures is a web materials library and editor for architects, interior designers, and other design professionals. Its library contains more than 8,000 seamless textures available as high-quality PNG files. In the Create editor, users can customize patterns, scale, and grout; the procedural textures also allow dimensions, patterns, and colours to be changed. Users can upload their own materials from a photo. Official plugins are listed for SketchUp, Rhino 8, Revit, and Vectorworks, and supported file formats include PNG, DXF, SVG, AutoCAD hatch, and Revit model and drafting patterns. The Free plan costs nothing and permits personal and educational use with standard texture downloads. Pro costs $89.99 a year and adds high-resolution downloads, PBR options and maps, CAD and Revit hatches, more patterns, custom materials, commercial use, and team management. Commercial use requires Pro, and downloaded content may not be used commercially after the subscription ends. The service is intended for visual reference, and its content is not guaranteed to be dimensionally accurate.
