You can apply tiles to the surfaces of generic primitive objects and internal walls by changing the type of object status it has.
Using Create Internal Surface changes a primitive from a singular object to a group of surfaces.
| Note: Once you have used Create Internal Surface on a primitive object, you will not be able to drag it in the plan. |
How to Convert a Primitive
- Ensure you are happy with the shape and placement of your primitive in your plan.
- Click the Select icon in the toolbar.
- Click the primitive shape to highlight.
- Right-click and select Create Internal Surface.
The surface of the shape will now change to the default colour of the walls.
You can now apply tiles to the surface in the same way as tiling walls and floors.
Automatic Create Internal Surface
You can shortcut this process by trying to tile the primitive before it's converted.
If you do this, a notification will appear asking if you want to convert the surface of the selected primitive. Clicking Yes converts the shape. With the tiling tool still selected, click the surface again afterwards to tile.
