Separating tile material regions from one another?

I'm not sure exactly how to ask this question, but I'll try. I'm an interior designer and tile patterns for showers are critical to me. Currently, if you have material regions of the same material on 3 walls of a shower, they are all connected to one another. Meaning, if I move the center line on one wall, the material shifts on the other walls. Is there a way to keep this from happening?

It's not because the material regions are connected, it's because material patterns and textures use the same offset settings, meaning the same location reference, for every instance. If you need to control the pattern and texture locations separately for different areas, you'll need to copy the material for the different areas and adjust the offsets.

Thanks, Chrisb222. So, basically, I'd need a separate material pattern for all tiled walls in a house so that I can adjust them to exactly where I want. Is that your understanding? That's exhausting!
