Hi,

I used the paint tool to paint some walls and ceilings. Is there a way to see what colour/finish I applied to these? While doing some rendering I realised I missed a few bits and can't remember what finish I used. I should've wrote this down but it's my first project and I didn't think of that!

Thanks!!!!

If your materials are built correctly with something in the Description line, you can use a material tag to see waht the surface of the wall is.  Works for the actual wall material or if painted, then the paint material.

Hover over your mouse to your painted wall and you'll see "... painted with...."
