I want to change the color of a single wall in my room to create an accent wall. How can I change the color of just a single wall?
An individual wall's material can be adjusted using either the Wall Specification dialog or the Material Painter tool.
There are five Material Painter Modes. Each mode specifies how broadly or narrowly the selected material will be applied to surfaces in your plan. In addition to the Material Painter Modes, the Blend Colors With Materials option allows you to apply a solid color to a surface displaying a pattern or texture and blend the two. Please see the Related Articles section below for more information on these tools.
In some cases, such as when an exterior wall runs the length of several rooms, you may not want to change the material of the spanning wall, or you may want to apply different colors to several different sections of the same wall to create a striped effect. You can use break points to accomplish both of these tasks.
If you are in a 3D camera view, return to your 2D floor plan view for the following steps.
To apply a different color or material to a section of a given wall, wall breaks will need to be placed on either side of the section that we want to change.
Another solution would be to draw a Wall Material Region in the area that you want to display differently, though this adds more than just a color to the pre-existing wall surface, and is better suited for facade walls. See the Related Articles section below for information on Material Regions.
