3. Search for a material such as paint, panel, wood, or brick. (Or, click the Paint Palette to specify a custom paint color).
4. Click to select a material and then click Apply.
   
   
   
   
5. To see your results, move the camera so that it faces the outside of the property, and then double-click the camera to take a snapshot.
