Applying a Texture to an Object. To apply a texture to one or more objects: Create or import a texture resource as described in Creating Textures. Select the object or objects to texture. If more than one object is selected, the texture resource applies to all objects in the selection. I don't have Autocad loaded on this machine, so I'm just going from memory, but just hold the Ctrl key while applying a material and it will apply the material only to the face you click on. Switch to another material and then do the same thing to apply that material to another face. At least that's how it works in 2008.
I believe in R5.3 you could only do Features, not faces. To do features your right clickon them in the browser and choose properties. To work around it in R5.3 some peoplewould extrude a very thin feature where they wanted to show the different color.-KentAssistant ModeratorAutodesk Discussion Forum Moderator Program'Adicm' wrote in message news:[email protected].

You can apply paint to the face of a column. However, if you plan to have multiple instances of the painted column in your project, create the column in the Family Editor and apply the paint there. When you are in the Family Editor, you can create a family parameter of type material. You can then paint that face of the family with that parameter.
For more information on creating a parameter, see. For quantity reporting and scheduling, materials that are applied with the paint tool are distinguishable from those that are used as the body material of host object elements.
