Using and Changing Colors

There are a large number of possibilities for changing the color and material of the various components in the program. You can change the appearance on accessories, walls, floors and other surfaces using predefined colors, your own colors, and textures (for example, tiles, bricks and wallpapers).

There are three different ways of opening the Material/Color Change dialog (see Figure 1):
