[Front] Hello there. When creating elevations I would like to keep my textures visible but just make them white, like in the attachment. The default Styles will shift everything to white, but makes all the textures ‘smooth’ - no lines. To create the attached screenshot I had to go and change ea…

[Elevation] This is the closest I can get w/ a default Style, but as you can see I lose all the textures.

The first thought that comes to mind is this: First you need a texture that looks like the white with lines for the clapboards. Second, the siding needs to be made into a component with the default (no) texture Copy and paste in place the siding component on it’s own Tag Paint one siding component…

When I want to do that I edit the textures in an image editor and make them black and white or grayscale. Also could use FredoGhost to do that. Example: [Screenshot - 1_27_2023 , 9_12_22 AM] [Screenshot - 1_27_2023 , 10_17_17 AM]

I’ve used desaturation ( taking everything to light grey texture in the RGB color editor along with setting opacity down so soli…

Here’s what I do. Sample each material on you elevation rename it by adding the RGB values to the name so you can switch it back later. Set all values to 256,256,256. Everything will be monochrome. When you want the color back just change the RGB values back. It’s a rudimentary workaround but works …

Maybe try this “greyscale plugin”. [image] Load error reinstalling Greyscale Plugin SU2016 Extensions I haven’t written or maintained my plugins in years, nor do I have any plans to. That said, here’s the file. As-is. No warranty, etc. Use at your own risk, etc. I will n…

I was going to to suggest that plugin (it’s what I would choose as my first choice) but Jim had withdrawn all of his extensions and I didn’t remember he’d made it available. I have and use a bunch of his tools which are all excellent.
