Change Colors and Materials in DreamPlan Home Design Software
How to Pick Colors and Materials for Your Walls and Furniture with DreamPlan
DreamPlan is an easy-to-use home design software that can create beautiful home and landscape designs. Decorate the interior and exterior of your home design to test out design concepts, colors, and materials before purchasing materials or paint. DreamPlan allows users to see how remodeling projects will look before materials have been purchased and physical labor has been put into the home remodeling project. To allow for the best customization options possible, we have recently added new features to DreamPlan to make changing materials, colors, and textures easier than ever.
Select an Object to Edit
To select an object, such as a wall, piece of furniture, window, floor, planter, tree, door, or deck, enable the select tool by clicking on the hand icon in the right-hand menu. If the background of the hand icon is green, the selection tool is enabled.
When you hover your mouse over any object in DreamPlan while the selection tool is enabled, an outline will appear. You can click on any object to select it. Once an object has been selected, you can easily change the object's color, texture, and other optional aspects.
Edit an Object's Properties
When you select an object in your DreamPlan project, a properties panel will open on the left-hand side of the program window. This panel will display optional properties that can be edited to customize the object that is selected. These properties can include values such as height, width, rotation, color, and texture. You can use the properties panel to customize every aspect of your home design project.
Change the Color of Furniture and Building Materials
To change the color of an object, click on the icon to the right of the material that you would like to edit. This will open a color selection box where you can select a preset color, or create and save custom colors.
You can change the color of most objects, including furniture, plants, flooring, walls, windows, and more. Choose your own color combinations to customize your home design project interior, exterior, backyard, and pool.
Try Out Different Building Materials
Some objects, such as flooring, walls, and decks, will include a style as well as a color. For these objects, you can select from different materials. Choose from various brick, wood, and tile designs for interior and exterior floors, walls, decks, and more.
