Creating a tiling pattern - Tiling Style

Example

In this example we would like to place the tiling up to 2650 mm height, using 4 tiles, and between 2650 mm and the ceiling we leave the white paint. To get this result we will create a Tiling style.

Click on the Ribbon bar / Interior / Properties / Tiling command. You can define a Tiling style in the appearing dialogue.

Define style: Tubadzin

Our Tiling style will include 5 rows:

Row 1: Height from 0 mm to 600 mm: House-of-tones-White-STR 598x598

Row 2: Height from 600 mm in a 330 mm high area: House-of-tones-White 898x328

Row 3: Height from 930 mm in a 23 mm high area: steel-gold-pol-898x23_0

Row 4: Height from 953 mm in a 1650 mm high area: House-of-tones-White A 898x328

Row 5: White paint from 2600 mm to the ceiling.

Row 1: Tile

Enter the following parameters in the appearing dialog:

• Click on the name of the tile (1) to select the tile you wish to apply; in our case it is the House-of-tones-White-STR 598x598 tile.

The Tiling properties dialog appears:

• Choose the House-of-tones-White-STR 598x598 tile from the Library.
• Set the grout: 2 mm.
• Click on the OK button.

Now enter the values in the Tiling properties dialog:

• Total height: 600 mm (2).
• Grout: white (3).
• Rows are Horizontal and start from the bottom (4).

Row 2: Tile

• Click on the Insert new button to copy the first row. (1)
• The height of Row 2 is 330 mm. (2)
• The material of the tiles is House-of-tones-White 898x328. (3)

Row 3: Decor strip

• Click on the Insert new button to copy the second row.
• The height of Row 3 is 23 mm.
• The material of the tiles is steel-gold-pol-898x23_0

Row 4: Tile

• Click on the Insert new button to copy the third row.
• The height of the Row 4 is 1650 mm.
• The material of the tiles is House-of-Tones-White A 898x.328. Orientation: Rotate left.

Row 5: Paint

• Click on the Insert new button to copy the fourth row.
• The height of Row 5 is 1000 mm. So, the total height of our tiling style is 3600 mm which means that we can use it on any wall that is not higher than 3600 mm.
• The material of the tile can remain the tile from the 4th row but turn off its visibility so the paint appears with the material of the grout.
• Click on the Redraw button to visualize the paint.

Finally, we need to save the new tiling style under the Tubadzin name.

• Click on the Style name button (1).

• Click on the New button.(2)
• Type in the name of the new style: “Tubadzin”.
• Select the Available in all projects option, so that we can use it in other projects as well.

Your screen should look as the following:

• Click on the OK button.

• Right click on one of the walls, and select the Tiling / Select place tiling style / All walls command.

• In the appearing dialogue you need to make sure that the style Tubadzin is activated, and accept with OK.
