Lighthouse Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Help,I have read everything online to no avail! I have a house with lots of exterior walls, that I want to be different materials and textures. I know that I can click on an individual wall and change it's material, but that is really time-consuming in this plan with so many walls, when I want to experiment with different siding colors and textures. So I want to be able to use the eyedropper to copy a wall material and paste it onto another wall. The problem I'm having is that when I use the eyedropper, it just changes the color of the new wall, not the material. For example, I have a wall made of horizontal wood siding. On a different wall, the exterior wall material is brushed aluminum sheets. When I use the eyedropper to copy the aluminum, and then paint it onto the wood sided wall, it just changes the color of the wood siding, but i can still see the siding. It doesn't replace the wood siding with the aluminum sheet. Is there a quick way to copy the material of one wall and paste it onto another, without having to open up each wall and choose the materials? I know I have done this before, but now it won't work. btw, I have tried all the different material painter modes Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 You have to uncheck Blend Colors With Materials (the little paint roller icon). I recommend unchecking this in your profile plan and leaving it unchecked except in very rare circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
