Hi there, I've been having trouble showing wall coverings in 3D mode. The wall coverings are correct for the three interior walls, however it shows the texture I have for "Drywall A" on the inside of the exterior wall. My goal is to paint each room a different color - is this possible with wall coverings? I've tried offsetting them, doesn't seem to change anything. I've attached photos for reference.

 

Thank you to anyone who has suggestions.

Have you tried changing the wall colors in each room by editing the room label?

Thanks for your response David.

I do have each room label set to a different paint color. All the interior walls look correct, however the exterior walls stay the same as Drywall A.

Sounds like something in your exterior wall definition needs a tweak.

Figured it out!

I took a closer look at my wall definition - the vapor barrier line was covering the edge of the drywall.

Thanks for the help David

I just had the exact same problem with my 2x4 brick wall. I don't think I ever edited it so apparently this is wrong out of the box. It's an easy fix if you know what the problem is, but it should be fixed for future users.

sound like you just need to go to interior mode and there you can use wall covering to paint the walls and choose from different paints   Paint 1   paint 2 etc.   

Sounds like you are using the drywall as your paint colors?
