Add Enscape Material Library to e.g. walls

[Equinoctial]

Hi, I'm trying to add Enscape Material Library to walls.
It's wallpaper I was thinking of putting on about a dozen walls.

Wondering if you can add that pattern on walls?

You can't use Enscape materials directly, but you could create your own Archicad surface (material) possibly using images from the Enscape materials.

Ok, maybe it's better to put a painting/board on the wall with pictures in it.
I've tried it but can't. It would be easier to do it directly on the wall, I thought, especially if you have sloping walls that are difficult to tilt the same way with paintings/boards.

If you have a picture (image file) of the wallpaper to add to a painting/board (I assume you mean a picture object?), then just create a new surface using the image file.

I do not understand. My walls are inclined at 80° and I somehow want to put (preferably wallpaper) on one side of the wall(s).
I can think of using other images as well if it is not possible to use enscape wallpaper.

Options => Element Attributes => Surfaces...

If you look at the bottom of the Surfaces Dialogue you will see that you can just insert any image to use as a basic texture. Easiest way to get something that looks correct is to duplicate an existing surface, then change the image used. If you use any of the other AC render engines, you will need to replicate the image over to the engine specific settings.

All you have to do is create the surface material and then apply it yo the wall surface.

You can't use Enscape surfaces (materials) directly, but you may be able to use the image files (texture) from those Enscape materials if you need to.

There are default wallpaper surfaces in Archicad if you want to use those.

How do I get these on the walls?

[Barry Kelly]

Let's start from the beginning.

I have no idea how much you know about Archicad or where you are getting stuck.

Do you know how the change the surface of a wall with the overrides?

Yes, I just tried.

I guess I can add my own pictures too. Trying...
