depends on how you're thinking of doing it:

if you are talking about assigning a gradient fill to a material and having it automatically show on the wall (or whatever element is using that material) then no.

if you are talking simply about colouring the wall in a section or elevation window then yes - simply use the gradient fill and draw it in over the top of the model - note that it won't update should the wall change though . . .

If you want a gradient wall in a RENDERING, you could make a material that used a large graduated color image and anchor it to one corner of the wall using the align texture tool.

You might also simply use the PICTURE object, placing it against the wall and sizing it to match, using the graduated color image as if it were a picture.

Thank you Dwight, now I know it's possible but probably need to set the options - don't have any results.

I'll post preview when I make it, tnx 🙂

I can't make 3d fill, just could create in floor plan and sections... (2D)

Dwight... Can you send me a short procedure for that wall you sent... Please

The same as for any texture map in a material.

The Align Texture tool anchors the origin of the texture.

You must save first the gradient fill as JPEG to put ii in material setting.
