Modifying an Enhanced 3-D Color Item

1. Follow the directions for selecting an Enhanced 3-D Color Item (explained above).
2. In the Modify Selected Item window, you can Choose a Color for the item you previously selected.
3. Under the words Choose Pattern there is a list box with the color patterns you can choose from. The list will change depending on the Color Item you chose in step 1. These patterns will depict the way the color you choose will look. For instance, choosing a Wood pattern will make the color you choose have a wood grain look. Select the pattern you want to use by clicking on its name. (See example picture above.)
4. Depending on which pattern you chose, options will become available to you on the right.
5. If you chose a pattern other than Checker, Clear or Solid Color, the list box on the bottom right will become available to you. This list contains the available colors you can choose from to use with the pattern you selected. (The example picture above has White Oak Natural selected.) Select the color you want to use for the pattern you selected.
   
   • Depending on the color you selected, an example picture will appear to the right of the list box. This picture will give you an idea of what the color you selected will look like in the Enhanced 3-D picture. The example picture on the right is of two boxes one on top of the other. The top box is using Wood pattern. The bottom box is using Leopard pattern. This gives you an idea of the different ways the color may look when using different patterns.
6. If you chose the pattern Clear, then the Color Item will become invisible. (Currently, this is only available for Walls.)
7. If you chose the pattern Solid Color, then the button Change This Color will become available to you. Click this button to change the solid color for this Color Item. (See Adjust Colors for help with choosing solid colors.) Solid colors do not use patterns.
8. If you chose the pattern Tile, the two radio buttons at the top right will become available to you. By clicking on each of the radio buttons labeled Tile Color 1 or Tile Color 2, you can set a color for each Tile Color. Follow step 5 for selecting a pattern color.
9. If you chose the pattern Checker, the two radio buttons at the top right will become available to you. By clicking on each of the radio buttons labeled Checker Color 1 or Checker Color 2, you can set a solid color for each Checker Color. Follow step 7 for selecting a solid color.
10. Once you have selected a pattern and color, click the Done button to accept the changes and return to the Enhanced 3-D Color Item window where you can modify the colors of other items.
