4ndrew Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Simply, I want to make the default color for the interior side of exterior walls white. If I draw a wall without changing the default color (tan), then change the default color to white, it has no effect, and newly drawn walls still use the default tan color. How can I get this to work? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olivier Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Thank you David, I just found the Eye-Dropper and Spray Can in the Main Toolbars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4ndrew Posted June 24, 2018 Author Share Posted June 24, 2018 Hey David - thanks as always for the help! It appears that the color (pattern) must be selected via the Wall Types dialog; if edited in Materials, it only changes the fill color, which seems to be overridden by the Pattern in the Wall Types > Define dialog. I'm going to experiment a bit more, but I'm not sure why, exactly, the Material Defaults dialog doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northmark2002 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Thanks for the video, David. I am trying to follow what you did in changing the defaults for wall materials, but when I click on Walls in the Default menu I get a much more limited menu see below). I can only choose which type of wall (Siding-6, etc.) is the default for Exterior and Interior walls, but there is no ability to change the default setting for how different types of walls are constructed or appear. I am trying to find a way to change the default material for Interior walls to something besides drywall without having to go through and spray paint some other material on every wall. I am running Suite 2021, perhaps this is a limitation of this version. Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read about using the Material Eyedropper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
