Changing the Way a Light Fixture Looks

You can use the Materials Paintbrush to apply different colors or materials to different parts of a light fixture. For example, you may want to change the color of a lamp shade.

To change the look of a light fixture:

1. Display your model in 3D, and make sure the light fixture is visible in the view.

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.

4. Click on the component you want to apply the material to. Materials are applied separately to the individual parts of the light fixture.  

5. When you are finished applying materials, right-click and select Finish.
