Regions are surfaces on walls, floor, murals or ceiling. Each region can be placed with selected tiles or textures. After placing walls into your project each wall represents a separate region. Into these automatically created basic regions you can add smaller regions. This can be done either with use of assistants in the TILE – Fast menu or manually in this menu.
Regions can be manually added also after you already placed tiles using assistants in TILE – Fast menu.
You can manually insert these types of regions:
Rect – rectangular region
Round – annular region
Free – region of free shape
Inserts – regions created from defined number of selected tiles
Rectangular, round regions and inserts can be created using 2D or 3D view, while free regions can only be created in 2D view. Click here to watch a short video on ViSoft Youtube channel showing how to create a region in 3D view.
Region properties:
Preview – you will see the preview if you click any region with already placed tiles or texture; by clicking on it you will get to Pattern assistant in which you can select a different tiling
Name – name of the selected region (not alterable)
Width – set width of the selected region
Height – set height of the selected region
Distance X – set X axis position of the selected region
Distance Y – set Y axis position of the selected region
Square – size of currently selected region in sqm
Optimize tiling – set tiling optimization algorithms
Bring to front: When you use overlapping regions you can select which one should be in front.
Delete Region: deletes currently selected region
Right click on this button will open a menu in which you can choose to delete multiple regions. For example: if you select Wall regions the regions on all walls will be deleted.
Delete all: delete all regions in the project.
Creating regions over multiple surfaces
Surfaces of walls and murals can be visualized in an adjoining view without free space between them. To remove the space between walls/murals surfaces move your mouse cursor to the outline of the wall/mural until the following cursors appears and press left mouse button. This will remove / create space between basic regions. When there is no space between basic regions you can easily create rectangular, free or round regions over multiple surfaces.
