X1 Change Wall Color for One Wall?
Hello all,
No matter what I do: break wall and change wall type. I still can't get one wall of a room a different color than the rest of the room.
After changing wall type I use the material definition or eye dropper and it won't change just the color of that wall?
How do I get one wall of a room a different color?
Seems like a glitch to me.
This is a pure X1 plan.
Cool When I want to Make Bands of Color, But What Happened to Simple....
....The simple ability to change the color of one wall? This is a cool tool for stripes--and thanks for pointing that out, but this is excessive for wanting to paint one whole wall a different color.
Dumb things about this for painting a whole wall:
1.Do I actually have to go back and find the exact ceiling ht to color the whole wall, or can I just use a high number?
2.From this wall covering mode, I can't use the dropper tool
3.Seems like a radio button that said, Paint Entire Wall would be a bit more convenient, but it's still not letting me use the dropper tool.
Interesting, but is this really what we need to do to paint a wall a different color? X1 2steps forward 1.75 steps backward.
Thanks very much,
Barry
Sorry, I'm talking about changing color along one wall...
I agree making colored stripes in chief is actually very convenient.
But I was talking about changing color along one wall. I have a living room that shares a wall with a dining room next to it and I want to change the one wall of the dining room without changing the others.
I'm finding in X1 it's harder to do than in V10 which didn't work that well to begin with.
X1 wants to paint the whole room or the whole wall no matter what I do. Even if I define part of that wall under a different name and in a few instances, even if I define a different material in wall definitions?
Besides, changing wall definitions also changes materials lists, it's a bad work-around to what should be an easy task.
Chief needs to define color as color or wall covering, Not Material. We should be able to break a wall and change the color of that part of the wall without changing the wall material definition. This is embarrassing when sitting with clients. Changing color is cumbersome and time consuming.
If you don't think it is, try changing part of a room color and if you're successful, which occasionally happens, try changing that color and moving the lines a couple of times because the client will and the program won't.
Let's not get caught up in work-arounds for this, no matter which method you use, it's still cumbersome and only works part time. I'm working with clients on the fly, changing wall definitions is not an impressive way to change wall color. The more we agree it's a dumb system the faster Chief will change it. I can't believe the present system has endured as long as it has, it's insane.
Thanks guys,
Barry
