- a. In the Navigation window, move the point of view in order to see the part of the room with the countertop (remember to enter the room; if you were out of the room, you could tile the exterior walls…).
- b. Open the COVERINGS section of the Components window, and search the tile you want to apply to the wall.
- c. Select the walls icon (), so that the Application knows that you want to tile walls. Check the grout value and colour. In H. rows field, say 4: this is the number of tiles that you want to place in the first section (also called strip) of the wall. In the Destination field select “Surface” (in this way Application will apply tiles just to this wall, and not to all the walls of the room). In the Align field select Centre. Now you are ready to drag the tile and drop it over the wall siding the countertop. If you’ve correctly followed these steps, you should see a first strip containing 4 tiles.
- d. Do the same in order to add 2 decorative tiles over the first one (Check that the Strip field is set to New), and another 4 tiles identical to the ones of the first strip. Any time you create a new strip, you should see on the wall the height the strip starts from and ends to, including grout.
If you made a mistake, you can roll-back operation deleting last strip. Do this using this button .
The result you have achieved should be similar to the one available in next image.
Save project by selecting the button on top of the Ribbon () or clicking the keyboard buttons: Ctrl + S .
- e. Do the same in order to tile the intermediate walls between the countertop and the shower-box (we have used 10 tiles, so you have to type this value in the H.row field. Moreover you should move the point of view in order to see any wall before tiling it). For your information, in the small wall near the countertop we have right-aligned the tiles, so that cuts will be driven to the corner.
- f. Do the same for the door’s wall too
Save project by selecting the button on top of the Ribbon () or clicking the keyboard buttons: Ctrl + S .
- g. Now move the point of view so that you can see the wall siding the toilet: repeat same steps as before, left-aligning the tiles (use a different tile colour in order to better distinguish walls while navigating).
Let’s tile the shower-box corner:
- h. Move the point of view so that so that you can see the shower-box and the corner between the walls as you can see in next image. If the shower-box does not allow you to operate, go to the layout window, click the right mouse button over it and select Hide (remember to show it again when done).
- i. Go back in the Navigation window, click the right mouse button in the corner, and select command Corner-Tile shower-box corner.
- j. Select the tiles to be used in the left and right panel of the shower-box, set the grout value and colour. Finally check the left and right panel dimensions, depending on the size of the shower-box you have chosen (see image next page).
- k. If the right panel has the same size of the left one, you can check Same as left control. Differently set the correct panel size.
