Coverings

Apply a Finish / Covering on the floor plan:

1. Click the button Coverings

2. Select a Finish / Covering among the suggested categories (Floor, Walls, Ceiling, Skirting boards)

3. Switch to 3D view

4. Click on the places where you want to apply the Finish / Covering

5. Click on Finish

The naming of rooms is directly linked to adding finishes / coverings. Indeed, the available finishes / coverings will not be the same depending on the room type. For example: if one of your rooms is named Duct, you will not be able to apply any Finish / Covering to it because red lines will appear when you hover over this room with the mouse.

Apply a Finish / Covering on several surfaces at the same time

To save time, you can apply a Finish / Covering on several surfaces at the same time:

For floors, Ceilings and skirting boards you can choose whether the Finish / Covering applies to a specific room or to the entire floor plan.

For the Walls, you can choose whether the Finish / Covering applies to a wall section, on a specific room or to the entire floor plan.

Adding Finish / Covering to skirting boards works differently; you can choose to apply the floor Finish / Covering, wall Finish / Covering, or the default Finish / Covering:

Apply a Finish / Covering on part of the wall

Apply a Wall finish on part of the wall vertically:

1. Click on Walls and select the Divider

2. Add a small divider segment where you want to cut the wall and by stretching it slightly inward toward the room

3. Click the button Coverings

4. Select a Wall finish and switch to 3D view to apply it to the split wall section

5. Click on Finish

Change the height of a Finish / Covering

Add a Wall finish on part of the wall horizontally:

1. Click the button Coverings

2. Select a Wall finish

3. Click on See more in the Finish / Covering selection box: - manually enter its Placement height (in cm) - manually enter its height (in cm)

4. Switch to 3D view and click on the walls to apply the Finish / Covering

5. Click on Finish

• The height corresponds to the size of the Finish / Covering itself, that is, how far it goes up the wall. In practical terms, it is the vertical dimension of the Finish / Covering.

• The Placement height corresponds to the distance between the floor and the start of the Finish / Covering.

This technique notably allows you to create a Border tile / Frieze in wall tile. To learn more about the Finish / Covering in the bathroom, click here.

Change the orientation of a Finish / Covering

For floor finishes and wall finishes, you can change their orientation, which will affect the positioning angle of the Finish / Covering and therefore change its overall appearance.

The orientation of wall finishes

There are 3 different orientations for wall finishes: 0°, 90° or 180°. You can select the desired orientation before applying the Finish / Covering to your walls.

The orientation of floor finishes

For floor finishes, you are free to choose the orientation of the Finish / Covering by changing it from 0° to 360°.

To do this, just use the slider to select the desired orientation before applying the Finish / Covering to your floor plan:

The finishes / coverings in the bathroom

Apply 2 wall tile models on the same wall

Step 1:

• Start by switching to 2D view then select your room to bring up the menu on the left.

• Select the wall tile model that suits you and activate 3D view mode to better visualize the changes.

• Tick the box Wall tile on all walls, so that it applies to the entire room.

Step 2:

• Click on the menu Coverings, on the left of your screen, then go to the tab Walls

• Select the wall tile that will be applied to the upper part of your room

• Then click on See more, to enter the Placement height of the Border tile / Frieze

• Switch to 3D view mode, then click on all the walls in the room to apply the wall tile.

• Click on Finish

As you can see, this step makes the wall tile added to the walls in step 1 disappear, but this step is still necessary.

Step 3:

• Go back to the tab Coverings, and look for the wall tile chosen in the first step.

• Select it and remember to remove its Placement height so that it starts directly from the floor.

• Apply the wall tile by clicking on the Dado / Lower wall section so that the wall tile applied to the upper part remains intact.
