Wall Colouring - Rendering

[Anonymous]

When you have a wall that runs along more than one room, and you change the finish/surface of that wall it changes it for every room, how do you assign room specific surface colours? without "splitting a wall"?

Use different wall accessories for every room.

It is easier to split the walls.

This is a good, fundamental modeling question. Recently, I have started modeling finishes (mostly ceilings) as separate assemblies, rather than using purely composites. It is better to do this for complex RCPs, but also for calculation purposes - better than using zones IMO. It might seem outlandish, but thin 'drywall' walls of different colours 'magic wanded' where appropriate may be the answer. Just shut them off on a 'finishes' layer in 90% of your views...it is in fact how stuff gets built, so....
