Glass Shower

[Dave13]

I know the answer to this question but damm if I can remember how to get a glass shower wall to be clear and not the wall color. Yes I used the railing tool and change the wall type to glass but it still comes out with the wall color instead of tempered glass. The old memory is just not working that well anymore.

 

Thanks for the help

Dave,

 

Did you "Paint" the Room(s)?  That would cause the glass walls to be painted also.  You would need to reset the room finish to default and then just paint the walls rather than the room(s).  Check the "Paint Mode" icons on the Edit Toolbar.

Make the glass wall "No room def", that way painting the "room" won't attach to the glass.  Otherwise, you need to apply the finish the each wall surface individually via the wall dbx.

I disagree with the previous answers,  the easiest way is to select the wall, open dvx,  MATERIALS<INTERIOR WALLS SURFACE,  and change the INTERIOR WALL SURFACE to your glass material.  Also change the EXTERIOR WALL SURFACE to glass....  all will be well.

 

This technique will override whatever color you have painted the room.

 

The other methods will work,  but this is the best and easiest solution.

You need to restore the default material for the room:

At some point you used the material painter on the room and that overrides everything. Reset it to the defaults and the shower walls should look normal again.

I try to avoid the material painter but after changing wall colors a few times I get lazy and just use the painter, I used the wall specification dialog box and individually changed each wall color and I got my glass back. Now the question is how to tell whether to use the interior or exterior wall if your in a room with no exterior walls. Thanks for the help!

The wall specification dialog has a preview of the wall to the right and you can rotate that around to see the interior or exterior side.

I   disagree and this post is confusing

I like to use the new wall material region tool for the walls in a shower or tub, then the glass wall stays as is. You can customize the tile any way you want.

The exterior side ( as Chief sees it)  will have the edit handle on it at the center of the wall when you select it , either interior or exterior walls.
