Howdy,

Something I think might be a handy enhancement to the texture coordinate editor would be the ability to set textures to be "repeating" so that the UV coords can be greater than (or less than) one.

So in the TCE you can stretch the polys to three times the width of the texture and that texture will then repeat three times on the poly.

This does already seem to be supported implicitly, but the texture only appears once in the middle of the TCE, if it could repeat then that would make lining stuff up a lot easier!

The other (default?) texture mode would be "clamp" and then you wouldn't be able to drag polys (or vertices) outside of the texture and it would just be displayed once in the middle of the TCE.

Hopefully that makes sense!
