Using the Material Eyedropper

The Material Eyedropper tool is similar to the Material Painter tool. However, instead of selecting a material from the library, the Material Eyedropper allows you to load the material from an object already existing in your plan. Notice in our master bedroom that the type of wood we have assigned to the interior trim of the exterior door is different than the material used on the trim of the interior doors.

To change materials using the Material Eyedropper
  1. Activate the camera view (or any 3D view).
  2. Click the Material Eyedropper button and notice that the pointer has changed to an eyedropper.



  3. Now just click to load that material. Notice that the pointer changes to a spraycan, indicating that the loaded material is ready to apply to another object.



  4. Click on the doors and their frames to apply the loaded material.
