If you are struggling to find a positive match for the brickwork from our library there is a specific tool to match the brickwork directly from an image of the clients home. Firstly open up you model in the editor screen in vsHome and select the ‘Materials’ tab.
On the ‘Edit Materials’ tab click the Camera Icon to the right of the External Wall settings to ‘Sample texture from digital image’. This will open up a file explorer where you can load the image you gave taken of the clients home.
A window will open where you can take a small sample of the brickwork from the image. Adjust the size of the red box accordingly and move it around the image to find the best section to sample. Try to find a position where the brickwork sample is straight, this will ensure it applies neatly on to your model. Press ‘ok’ to continue.
The brickwork is now matched, you can now select your new ‘User Picked Pattern’ from the external wall drop-down menu. Check the tick box below if you wish for all the brickwork on your model to match.
Hint: As well as matching the brickwork there is a number of elements you can change within the ‘Materials’ tab. The ‘Profiles’ tab allows you to change the profile and gutter colours while the ‘Internal’ and ‘Trims’ tab has multiple options to change the flooring, skirting and internal wall colour.
