alexpwalsh Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Any time I shift an entire structure in a plan file using Edit Area, my interior paint returns to default Bone color and exterior siding gets confused as to what goes where. For example, my stone wanescot will suddenly be applied to an entire wall instead of just 3ft high. I'm not sure if this is a glitch or I have something setup incorrectly. Any thoughts?

Kbird1 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Are you pasting into a new Plan or just moving it over a bit? Pasting into a new plan may cause the Structure to pickup the "Defaults" for that plan .... M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It occurs for me when just moving a building or structure say 10' feet or so. It will also occur when using the reverse plan tool. I do not find that it occurs when you use the "edit - edit area - edit all floors" to select what you want to move, which may be an answer for the OP. I use the same thing when not only moving objects but reversing the plan and reflecting about a line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexpwalsh Posted August 18, 2021 Author Share Posted August 18, 2021 @Kbird123 Just moving a house within the same plan. @Crusader103 Sounds like it actually is a bug if someone else has experienced it. I pretty much exclusively use the "Edit Area - All Floors" command to make sure I'm getting the whole house and I still get the weird finish changes. Guess I will have to live with it, thank goodness for the material painter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a bug with Edit Area early in X12, that's why I asked about another Plan ( more likely a defaults Issue) so I would report this to T.S. through your Digital Account. thanks. Mick.

I would not recommend this for Exterior Walls eg Stone vs Siding as it only changes the Material not it's thickness in the Wall Definition. There is a Post here on the Forum about "Best Practices for the Paint Can Tool" ...try a search for it..... Mick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah - huh , that's why I couldn't find it..... post was about the "Paint Spray Tool" not "Paint Can Tool" (Material Painter) You should put a copy over in the Tips Forum too...
