Assigning materials to blocks

[Christopher Jones]

I apologize for re-posting but I think my original query may have gotten lost in the "remove me" conservation.

I am wondering if there is a way to add a material/pattern to blocks? I have a room with a bathroom room in one corner. I have defined the bathroom using two blocks. I would like to "paint" the interior walls and blocks to match the architects color scheme. The Materials dialog allows for painting the interior walls, ceiling and floor but I don't see a way to change the color/texture of those blocks?

Hi Chris,

Sorry, I must have missed this earlier.  Yes, you can add any material to your blocks in your model.  They have to be imported into the project first, and then instead of typing in a reflectance for the block, you can enter the name of the material.  You can even apply glass definitions to blocks to create interior glass walls (blocks can have a 0 dimension to make a plane).

Regards,

Zack
