I wish there were a way in Building Maker to "force" texturing to come
from a particular image. Sometimes I have points constrained in two
similar images from the same angle, but one will have a slight
obstruction in front of the building face while the other doesn't. Of
course, the automated texturer will choose the one with the slight
obstruction, even if I unconstrain all points on that face in that
view. The only way is to unconstrain all points in that image, but
sometimes I need one or two points to grab a particular feature.

Couldn't there be a box to check that says "texutre face from this
image" or something like that? It seems the program is already smart
enough to know which is the front-most face in the image; it even
seems to know (sometimes) when other buildings are in front of the one
I'm looking at.
