View Full Version : Paint Bucket Overriding Surface Pattern

I am working on a project and am working on the roof plan. The guy before me decided it would be a good idea to make the roof generic and simply use the paint bucket to "paint on" an asphalt roof, and it works fine.

Except that there are some areas of the roof that are supposed to be metal, not asphalt.

So I created a new roof type via the duplication method for these areas, but I can not get the asphalt to go away no matter what I do (short of deleting the roof and redrawing it, which is probably what I will do, but I want to learn other options 1st)

So is there a way to undo a paint bucket pattern? Will the paint bucket always trump the surface pattern? I know the procedure the person used to initially create the roof is not the right way, I would have modified the structure and the finish within the structure, NOT used a paint bucket.

TY in advance.

Use the paint bucket with the <By Category> material to remove material overrides.
