So what we're going to do instead is we're going to add different materials to different faces. So if we double click the scissors layer, come back in here again, what we're going to do is open up this layer, first of all. We're going to close our geometry options, and you'll notice that under contents, there's an add button. In here, you can add different colors to the front side, bevel, back of your object.
