kearasimmons Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 I'm still fairly new to Chief and have mostly learned from just playing around with things. Is there a way to create a custom-shaped section for a different material? For example, I am trying to make a curved pathway of wood, while the surrounding material is carpet. I was able to create the pathway using polylines, and then changed the fill to a wood-plank pattern on the plan view. But I am trying to see the differentiated pathway in the rendered perspective view. Should I be using the polyline tools to do this or is there a better way?

A great tool for floors, walls where you have two material areas. In this case, go to the Build menu at the top, then to Floor - Material Region 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
