    If the vehicle come with a template texture you can use that to tell you. Sometimes you can use another texture in the '.ytd' if, with a bit of luck, it has the same mapping layout as a template would.

    If there is no template etc, your best bet is to create a numbered & multi-coloured etc grid texture of the same size as the original vehicle texture, something like this:

    Grid Texture

    Apply it to the vehicle as it's main texture, load it up ingame & then use screen shots & the grid texture (applied over the vehicle texture (in Photoshop etc), but in a new layer etc just for reference) to figure out where each part goes.

    Thank you friend. It's working. The vehicle didn't have a template, so I'm editing it because of the idea you gave.

    I will only have difficulty in the door divisions, because I use Paint (I don't know how to use another editor) and it is complicated.

    You just need a way to overlay the two textures together & then make the grid texture slightly transparent in some way (reduce it's fill or opacity etc) so you can use it as a more accurate (than using screenshots alone) guide to see exactly where the door lines start/end. :thumbsup:
    Any issues, link to the vehicle & tell me the name of the texture you are editing :thumbsup:

    This is the vehicle I'm editing.

    The problem is that I don't have the texture of the vehicle I want, all I have is a google image of what it looks like: https://ibb.co/BVcy847

    There is another mod that is practically as I would like it to be, but it is another car:

    Do you think there is a way, somehow, that I can use the .yft of that other vehicle as a model for mine?

    Not sure exactly what you mean here? You could open the texture & copy & paste parts into your texture but generally without editing a '.ytd' ain't going to work on another vehicle.

    It's easy enough to copy details from a google image & paste them into a vehicle's texture. Might need a bit of work to look the best in-game, but it's a good, quick shortcut, compared to creating a police logo yourself from scratch etc

    There's no quicker way to do it unless you have a template
