    This will open the regions featured in the tile template.

  1. The Region provides deeper settings for your tile template.  Grout Type is in the Spacing section:

  2. In Grout Type, ensure Colour is selected and click the colour drop-down to the right. 
    Note: The colour in the drop-down box will be the current grout colour. 

  3. Select your required colour and click OK.

    • Click Other... to open a detailed colour menu. 
    • In the colour menu, select the colour and click Add to Custom Colours.  Ensure the new colour is selected and click OK.

The grout colour will now be updated, but before closing the dialog to save the template, it is recommended to update the Pattern Preview for future use.

3.  Update the Pattern Preview

  1. With the template still highlighted in the Template/Region list in the left-hand section, click View Example Image in the bottom left.

  5. Click OK to complete.

4.  Save and re-tile surface

  1. You can now close the dialog to save by clicking OK. 
    Note: Any clicks to a different template or closing the dialog by clicking OK will prompt a request to save changes. 

  2. Click Yes to the Save Changes? prompt.
