material painter and spray can no longer work on components in one room in a plan that otherwise is fine.

[Jeffcrigler]

I have a .plan file where one room has the behavior that the material painter features, Spray can, etc. always paints every like material in the room even if set to object or component.  This only happens in one room, (in the plan this is the 2nd floor large bathroom.)  

 

In any other room in the model the spray can and material definitions work just fine.  But in this one room, if I paint any wall with a color or a wall paper pattern, it is applied to all the walls in the room.

 

I have tried a bunch of things.  

 

  - I tried deleting a wall to connect it to an adjoining room that otherwise works fine.  When I did that the behavior occurred in the adjoining room.  So painting any wall with a pattern painted all walls in the original bathroom and in the formerly separate adjoining hallway room.

 

  -  I tried selecting the specific wall I ant to paint and adjusting its material definition.  While the dialog shows the change, the 3d view of the room is unchanged as if it had not been applied.

 

  - I tried all the different "modes", object, component, room, plan.  They all seem to behave the same.

 

So I am suspecting this is either a weirdly corrupted file or a bug in the software.

 

I am running CA 16 Build 26.2.0.10 macOS ARM

on a Mac Mini,  Apple M2 Pro  with 32 GB of memory

Using macOS Sequoia V 15.1.1

 

I have attached a public link to the file (it's too large to share via the Chief Talk upload) at

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AMRM1lYfZTGjgoFrXQgTnfTLwDrDIX_a/view?usp=sharing

 

The room in question is the Bath located on the far upper left of the 2nd floor of the plan

 

Would greatly appreciate help on this.

The reason you're having difficulty painting the walls in that room is because that room has a wall covering applied and when you click to paint, you are applying the material to the wall covering, not the wall. Delete the wall covering for that room and then painting the material per wall will work as expected.

I did find a wall covering on one exterior wall and I removed that.  I also made sure that all the other walls in the room were set to  Default: Drywall.  But it still won't let me paint one wall.   I am trying to paint is the one behind the vanity a different color  But if I paint that wall in either object or component mode, all the walls change.

 

What am I missing??  I can do this fine in the adjoining Master Bdrm room fine.  I'm stumped.

The ROOM has a wall covering applied:) Open the room specification dialog and delete the wallcovering from the room. Double click on the room in plan view or in camera view, double click the floor or baseboard to open the Room Specification dialog.

Wow, I didn't realize ROOM could have a wall covering.  Now it makes sense.  Thank you
