how do I add texture to bottom half of walls? Im a newbie, and simply want to load tiles on half of the walls in side a bathroom eg say 1200mm up the wall of one wall, or even apply a feature texture tile 3 quarters the way up the wall. yet it seems only to give option of applying textures to the full wall? I thought maybe adding a new slim wall in front of the main wall of the bathroom, at say the thickness of a real tile then applying that texture, but thought there might be easier methods, as when you make those walls too thin there hard to move round accurately. anyway, help would be great. |

Re: how do I add texture to bottom half of walls? Jared, There are several ways to do this. 1 - Using the plug-in CopyAsNewFurniture - Draw the walls of your room - Copy the four walls to a different location for each of the colours or textures you want to use - Give the first set of walls the height of the lowest colour, then apply that colour or texture - Repeat the process for the second (and third, etc) part of your design on the second (and third) set of walls - Select the second part and copy it using Tools --> Copy as new Furniture - Paste the copy into your design, change its elevation and place it exactly on top of your first set of walls - Repeat for more colours or textures NOTE: This way left and right side of the wall may have different aspects 2 - Using insertable boxes - Take a standard box and export it using 3D view --> Export to OBJ format - Import it again making sure you check the checkbox Door/Window - Apply the colour or texture you desire to the box, and give it the desired height and width, as well as the correct elevation - Insert the box into your wall - Repeat for more colours/textures NOTE: This way both sides of the wall look the same 3 - Using an imported texture - Use a graphics program like The Gimp to make the desired texture for the full height of your wall - Import the texture and apply it to your wall NOTE: This way both sides of the wall may have different aspects 4 - Read this tutorial for another way NOTE: This way both sides of the wall may have different aspects Good luck!
