Paint Materials- for Door Casing

[Nathan_philip_m]

Hello,

I am trying to place a round doorway on an interior wall then paint the casing with rock.

Additionally, when I tried to paint a section of a wall or floor with different material the entire flooring or all walls changed. How do I limit the paint to a small section?

I recently undertook the same issues with the wall; read the link below and you will find your answer with example pics that will assist you.

Define "round"; if you are referring to a door with an arch, click on it and open it up, then go to materials tab and select what material you want applied to the surface(s).

Heh .. first thing that came to mind was Bilbo Baggins' house

Same here! There's actually a development in Bend, OR that is making Tolkien houses and using hobbit-holes for the storage sheds...http://www.bendshire.com/

Pretty cool stuff!

Actually, I was thinking ship's nautical hole or a subs passageways. I guess you could say --- she's sinking in her thinking.

Hey, this Shire place looks like MY neighborhood!! I find the modern-day roof thatching very interesting:

Using a newly developed recycled PVC (with strains woven and interlocked) we can create an Old World thatch look while incorporating modern-day codes and building methods.

I think I should put that stuff on my house -- what do you think? Wouldn't that look nifty? I wonder how much it costs?

Yes nifty,cost nothing in cyber world..

Tips
pull the top of your chimney in so the trim will not get cut off.
If it is not sticking past the wall below,it shouldn't be at the top.
Mix up your plant sizes they they don't match so perfect..
Trees in the background are a little big and you only have one pine tree.

Hope you take the tips in a good way and don't hit me..

No, I meant put that thatch roofing on my real house!!

This is a plan of my real house, and this is pretty much what it looks like. I agree that a few of the trees in the backdrop are a teensy bit too big. But not by much. I have a huge sycamore tree in the backyard, must be close to 100 ft. tall. The pine tree in the side yard is actually a big cedar but I couldn't find one of those in the library.

I'm not sure what you mean about the chimney. This is what it really looks like -- see attached photo (which is old, the shrubs are all huge now).

So far I haven't been able to get the roof exactly right. I probably know how to fix it now (this was the first plan I ever drew up) but haven't taken the time to go back and do it right.

That is a nice house and you got it very close.
The render looks like the chimney is pulled pass the house,maybe not..I would think it would be very expensive if you could find any one around that know how to do that roof.
