Hello
I have created a small building. Now I want to give specific color on specific wall. Say red in room inside, blue in corridor, green in room outside.
Simply how can add color on each individual wall segment (for two cross wall there is 12 segment on elevation).
If it is possible then plz help me

This is one way.





It depends on why you need the different colors on a single wall and in what kind of view you need to see it that way.

Split he wall into segments that match where you what the differnet colors to be. If that is not an option, you may need a different strategy.

You can create a texture of specific dimensions which has all the colors where you want them and apply it to a single wall having those same dimensions.

It might also depend on why you need to have the color assigned to the wall. For example if you need to have the wall colors as part of a wall schedule or something. It could also depend on how you intend to render the images of that wall. Do you need it for making an elevation? Rendering?

Need some help with that? Or is just the idea of doing that enough to help you out? I don't want to waste you time if you could do that with out any further tips. I will be happy to give specific instructions if you need them.
