- Under Material areas, located in the menu on the left side of the screen, select the Add material area tool.
- With the desired tool selected, move the mouse over the desired surface, for example a wall, the floor or ceiling. The currently selected surface will be highlighted by a dashed red line.
-
Left-click to select the start point for the material area.
- Move the mouse to draw the desired shape and left-click again to confirm.
Note: For more information on drawing material areas, see Create material area.
