      <ul>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">The directory and its subdirectories pointed to by the UGII_TEXTURE_LIB environment variable. By default, this environment variable is not set.</p>

         <li>
            <p class="para_item">The directory and its subdirectories pointed to by the UGII_TEXTURE_TIFF_IMAGE_DIR environment variable. Please do not redefine this environment variable. Unigraphics NX uses it to locate all the TIFF files for all the supported textures. By default, it is set to $UGII_BASE_DIR/ugstudio/.</p>
