T
his chapter illustrates how to add detail to the interior of the model. It demonstrates 
how to place various aspects of the building, such as the roof, on its own layers to better 
access the model interior. This makes it easier to incorporate interior component detail and to 
add and adjust interior textures.
The process includes adding floor and wall colors and textures, creating component detail 
layers that correspond to the interior, and placing two types of interior detail.
Interior Base Model
Before detail is added, the interior of the building needs to be made accessible. Components 
and layers are used to do this (Fig. 35.1 through Fig. 35.11).
Fig. 35.1: 
The building detail layers are turned off. The component detail on the layers 
added in the previous chapter are toggled off, making it easier to access the building 
structure and interior.
