Ceilings at Floor and Roof Objects

[willofmaine]

Is there any way to control the color and/or texture of the undersides of Floor and Roof/Roof Face objects so that they can also double as ceilings, such as cathedral ceilings and ceilings in houses where there is rarely a separate suspended ceiling? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Will,

Unless you break the floor object apart will you be able to apply textures to anything but the top face. What I usually do when I need both a floor to frame one to render I create seperate classes for floor and ceiling surface where I can then apply different textures to individual 3D polys per room.

You can also use the Extract tool in Extract Surface mode to create new surfaces from the Floor Object. These can then be moved in 3D space so they don't coincide with the floor object. You can then apply separate textures to these individual surfaces.

Hi Pete & Mike,

Thanks for your suggestions, both useful approaches depending on the situation.
