/ Build / Design / Materials

Enhance your spaces by applying our intuitive materials customization feature. This guide will walk you through adjusting material properties for walls, floors, and ceilings to bring your creative vision to life.

By selecting on the module (or multiselecting), the design tab will appear automatically, here you can focus at the bottom of the panel and find the materials and colours assigned to the module. There will be a break down of all the changeable components that can be customised with colours or textures.

Select the desired component to trigger the materials panel which will allow you to change a range of attributes which we’ll go into more detail.

  • Diffuse: Diffuse allows you to change the base color of your material, click on the colour button and choose from the pallette.
  • Metalness: Add a metallic sheen to your materials by adjusting the slider, this will provide a reflectivness to the material.
  • Roughness: Control the surface texture, from glossy to matte.
  • Bump: Create additional depth to your texture on your material, you can adjust the slider to make this more intense or smooth.
  • Scale: Scale allows you to resize the the material on your module, use this carefully to avoid pixelation or stretching.

When you are happy with your material options, you can quickly apply this to modules by selecting ’Copy Materials’ and then multi-selecting or CMD / CTRL + A to select all modules, then clicking the ’Apply To All’ button. This will apply the materials to all modules in the scene.

To change the corresponding textures in materials and upload your own textures or choose from our library, you can do this by selecting on the function itself. So by selecting ’Diffuse’, this wil open a textures tab where you can browse through pre-made textures or upload you own to apply to the modules.
