Solution

MS_PATTERN does not include ...\bentley\microstation\mdlsys\textures.

The texture layering system uses proceedure files that are delivered in
...\bentley\microstation\mdlsys\textures. If MS_PATTERN was altered to
not include a path to this location, the texture layering system will
not function correctly.

1. Go to Workspace > Configuration > Rendering/Images category.
2. Highlight "Pattern Maps".
3. Click on Select ("Select Path for Pattern Maps" dialog opens.
4. Browse to ...\Bentley\Microstation\mdlsys\textures\
5. Click Add.
6. Click Done.
7. Save configuration.
8. Restart MicroStation.
