    Is there any way to tell what an existing texture is? I am updating a ship and want to match some existing textures on it. I ran through all of them (I think) and none seem to match.

    oh, wow. You have a screen shot?
    Also, different Materials provides sometimes different Textures, i.e., wood concrete Metal and Xeno Steal

    The one I am trying to duplicate is the two narrow yellow ones with rectangles. Best I was able to find was the single yellow one with squares.

    They are the same texture. Some block shapes squeeze or stretch the texture shown on some of their faces and that's what you're seeing there.

    Yes, as @ravien_ff said. To have your desired effect try to add this Beam

    To each of the Edges and than you get a constant chance for Texture

    I think the previous one was a thin wedge of some sort. I replaced the wedge with the one that is two beams, one on each side, to form a sort of doorway. It works either way. I like the look of this ship and as I mod it am trying to keep the look relatively consistent.
