Using the Flood-Fill Tool for Patterns
We will use the Stucco pattern as an example of how to fill a selection with a pattern. First, you must have something selected, with the "marching ants" around it.
Stucco The spatch pattern in the styles colour palette gives an excellent stucco effect. Click on the flood fill tool  .
Now go over to the colour palette, and press on the arrow in the Styles box, then click on the nine dots. When the pattern menu pops up, click on the pattern in the box (here
it's Stained Wood). The sequence is shown here:
 Now click on the pattern, and yet another box pops up. 
Slide up until you find the spatch (or whatever pattern you're looking for) pattern, and click on
it. Now the box will look like this: 
Click o.k. Click anywhere in the basic house selection, and it will have the splatch pattern! Fill PatternsLog Cabin For a log-cabin simulation, flood fill your
selection with white, apply the horizontal blinds effect, Width 10,
Opacity 41. Then go to Effects-Sculpture-Mahogany.  Done.
Roof Shingles Open on the workspace, and then you can use the Colour Pallette/Styles, as described above, to fill your selection. You can change it's colour by going to: Colors - Colorize and playing with the values, or by going to: Effects - Enhance Color - Manual Color Correction and following the directions. |
