djhplanning Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I want to have tongue and groove paneling on the walls and ceilings in a room. I want to have the wall run in a vertical direction, which is no problem. When applied to the ceiling, the paneling wants to run paralell with the rafters. I want the paneling to run perpendicular to the rafters. How is this achieved??? Do I need to make a new material with pattern rotated 90 degrees??? Isn't there an easier way to just rotate the ceiling material and not the walls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I've never found a way. I always make a new material. The fastest way I've found to do so is this... Locate the material by FIRST using the material eyedropper, THEN clicking on the Material Painter. The material you previously selected will automatically be highlighted. You can then easily make a copy or add it to library (depending on your preferred method). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chief58 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Do as Michael says and it goes fast make a new material and put it in the direction you want or need it in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramount Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Spent the whole day trying to get better at creating materials. Rather than start a new thread I'll ask here, hope you don't mind Dan. I did as Michael said but when I create a new matl after using the eye dropper and selecting a T&G color, how do I get the texture since it takes me to my own hard hard drive file where I need to have a T&G texture stored?. If I try and navigate to CA zip files I cannot since CA is looking for PIC files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I think you guys are doing something wrong. Video coming shortly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Alaskan_Son Posted January 16, 2016 Solution Share Posted January 16, 2016 Here you go. You may need to navigate to the bottom right corner to create a full screen view of the video. And please note that I simply created a copy in the plan but you can also add the material to your library if you wish for use in future plans. You simply need to click Add To Library in the Select Material DBX before clicking OK. http://screencast.com/t/pjCZkpteee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djhplanning Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Thanks for the help. I'm pretty new with Chief. I'm use to working with sketchup. They have a nice system for just rotating the material per individual surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
