Paint bucket troubles
-
Hey there SU!
I've got quite an annoying problem with paint bucket. Im just simply trying to paint a tongue of a trailer. But for the life of me it won't paint the dang pieces. I orbit all over the place to see if it will finally paint and it does nothing but make me click like a thousand times. Does anyone know what the problem is? I didn't think paint would be this hard but its like it is clicking on another panel instead of them one im looking at. If anyone knows please let me know what is going on. Information is greatly appreciated.
This is probably a silly question 
-
Try going wondow->preferences->opengl and then toggling 'correct reverse picking'/'hardware acceleration.' It sounds as if one of those is causing your problem.
-
Also, is it grouped by any chance? And maybe you have painted the faces previously?
-
I did try the hardware acceleration and correct reverse picking and it doesnt seem any better. And I don't belive it is grouped. Would a picture help at all or no? Let me know and ill post one of what im trying to paint. Thanks for the comments
-
It cant hurt to post a pic, any chance you could post the model as well?
Oh, final thing to check: view->face style->shaded with textures (thats what it should be, if not change it to that.)
-
Hey there Remus,

Are you trying to paint them a light beige colour? if so its already there. Its quite subtle, so i imagine if youve got your monitor setup slightly strangely you might miss it.
-
nah im trying to paint it white. i think i just need to keep trying lol. hopefully 1 click will get it!!!!!
-
Perhaps its just the opposite then, and its just some strange shading going on in SU?
-
Upload the model. We'll check it out. I think it might be a group/component thing like gaieus suggested.

will do as soon as i get into work tomorow.
-
One thing that does happen is that sketch up twin faces things.
Have you tried deleting the face to see if there is one underneath? -
The simplest way to solve this issue is to upload your problematic .skp (or part of it).
My guess is it's all because your avatar
Am I gettin' old? -
It finnally painted the tongue! YAY! I went to check if there was another surface like tobobo was saying there might be. I deleted it noticed that there was not another surface so I undid and tried to paint it one more time. Then it finally popped it in. Maybe it was a glich or it didnt work lol. Anyway I really appreciate all the help you guys have helped me with. You guys R Teh Awesome!
Thanks a bunch!~Rsdevour
