Adding Color Background to Pavers

Adding Color Background to Pavers

This technique adds a nice touch to your paver areas.
  1. Draw out your paver area.
  2. Click on the paver area and go to the paint bucket tool. Select Solid.

  3. The paver area should change to a color.
  4. Go to the content librarian and select the hatch pattern library.

  5. Select a patter to drag on top of the paver area.
  6. The final result should be pattern over the color.
    End Result
Try other colors and patterns. In the end result I added a sand pattern on top of the tile pattern to make it look more realistic. Good tehnque if your trying to do stamped concrete.
You may need to play with pattern scale if it comes out too small or too big. It is located in the same location as the paint bucket. All you have to do is select the pattern and change the number.
