I modeled a nice little outpost thing- but the floor, walls, and exterior are all one part. How do I texture each part individually? Someone said vertex paint, but I don't know how to use that or where that is.

Give the model the "Edit Mesh" modifier and click the "Detach" button and select the part you want to detach. Then give the detached part a respectable name like Tower Floor or GT_flr etc etc.

Apply the editable mesh modifier, click on polygon tool (the filled in red triangle) than click on the floor that you want to have a different texture. It should highlight in red or you'll see it red in wireframe mode. Right click on it and click detatch. Now click on the red triangle again, and try clicking on your floor, it should be a seperate object now.

That entire model can't be one face. Instead of right clicking, try selecting the parts you want to detach with the edit(able) mesh modifier and hit the Detach button on the right pane. A box to name it should appear.

When you guys are talking about selecting the part I want to datach, Im guessing you mean the polygons or pixels? Because I don't know how to do that.

EDIT;

Go to the stack list, and click the + next to editable mesh. Click polygons. Now put it into wireframe mode (makes it easier to see what you have selected), and make sure you have the pointer tool selected from the top menu.

Now hold CTRL and click all the squares that make up the inside of your outpost. I suggest you also tick the Ignore Backfacing box under where you selected Polygons, and also hide any other objects before you begin. Makes it a bit easier to select the right parts.

Now, once you have all the inside selected, right click on it and choose detach, and give it a name (EG outpost_indr ).

It's no problem at all.

You know the window were you work, they are called viewports, their respective names are in the top-left of the viewport.

You have to create a new material, not edit the existing one.

When you press M, hold your mouse over the buttons on the side until the little hover description comes up, and find the one for New Renegade Material. Then do your texture settings on that, select your detached floor and hit Apply to Selected button (again hover over them to see which is which if you dont know)
