Show floor materials in plan view?

Hello helpful forum people,

 

I am looking to produce a plan set for marketing purposes. The realtors selling one of my current projects are asking for the plans to show the flooring materials in each room. I am unsure how to do this in Chief. Can chief even do this? I have done it with other software, but can't seem to figure out the chief method. I really do not want to manually do this in Photoshop.

 

Any hints or tips welcome.

 

Cheers,

Yes there is a thread about this, using the perspective floor overview camera top view is what you are after I think.

 

Sorry Orthographic floor overview will work better to keep things square and true.

In the Default Room Label add %room.floor.finish.name%

or enter that in a text box and place the text box in the room.

 

btw, that's just one of the "Global>Room Info" macros that Chief provides which can be inserted in the Default Room Label or in a Text Box that can  be located in the rooms.

Joe,

 

I am assuming that the OP wants to graphically see the materials in a floor plan view.

I don't think he wants the materials notated.

If that's the case, it can be done with Room Fill Patterns or a combination of a solid room fill and Material Regions with Fill Patterns but no texture.
