Applying Different Materials to Floors

You can use the Materials Paintbrush to quickly apply different types of materials to floors, such as different colors or patterns of carpet, tile or linoleum.

To apply a material to a floor:

1. Display your model in 2D Designer’s View or 3D view and make sure the floor is visible in the view. You may need to hide the roof and ceilings.

2. Select Edit > Materials Paintbrush, or click the Materials Paintbrush button on any tabbed toolbar.

3. In the catalog panel, select the material you want to apply. Categories that contain flooring include Wood, Concrete, Carpet, Tile and Linoleum.

4. Click on the floor surface you want to apply the material to. The material is immediately applied. You can continue applying the material to other floor surfaces, or select another material in the catalog.

5. Right-click and select Finish.
