Changing wall material

[Rapidnurse]

I am trying to change the wall material, but it does not seem to be working. I've tried the break wall tool. I have actually tried everything.  It changes the whole wall. Any suggestions?

I think you are going to need to explain what you are trying to do or provide some pics of the issue as there are different ways to change a Wall's material ,  ie in the Wall's DBX , the Material Painter etc.

I am trying to cover just one wall not the entire wall. I am able to cover the front, but not the sides even with the break wall tool. I've had this program for years with updates, and cannot figure out how to do this.

I have figured this out on my own. After about an hour and a half working on it.

 

Thanks.

If you have already gotten yourself into trouble with the Material Painter, this article explains how to fix that:

not good I guess bit frustrating no doubt, but I still wasn't sure what you were trying to change to change from the pics .

 

the two sides of the fireplace to stone ( that you can't really see in the pics )  or the Wainscotting on the left wall to the other wall ?

 

there is also an article on doing wainscoting in the KB too
