    Thanks for trying Mark. I figured out how to add a formula to the automatic rebar counts that calculates the increased amount needed ...and some other components like

    rebar 'L's from footing to wall really quickly. 

    Next Question: how do I copy components from one wall to another?

    Rob can you share what you did? Very interesting 

    Smooth board & batten texture?

    You may be missing a small detail or approach...I only say that as I feel like I know your capabilities in the software and you shouldn't think it is a lot of work.

    1. Pull an elevation
    2. Draw material region using tab-input for the width making sure the entire material region is captured by the wall. This ensures that the region is in the right coordinate location(bound to the wall)
    3. Drag the region up past the plan of the highest ridge for that section of wall. 
    4. Multiple copy and drag along that walls elevation
    5. Optional to evenly distribute along the wall

    Same method works for a stepped back location. I can usually do a whole house in 5 minutes or less

    Rene...you are right...ha ha...not as much work as i make it out to be...it would be nice to have an automated way...

    Thanks! Why isn't this getting more publicity? I completely missed this.

    Richard what did you do in the end for your b&b?  I have used material regions in past they look great but are a lot of work, or did you get the polyline distribution path working?

     

    I am always looking for a good b&b that shows up well in 3d with the appropriate shadows.

    How to see when a 360 or 3d viewer link is used?

    Ok you smart chiefers...wouldn't it be good to know when and who uses the links we send out?

    Wouldn't it be nice to be able to only give out individual links.

     

    With buildertrend i get notified when a user views a proposal.

     

    I am looking for a way to see the activity and have more control over who sees these, any thoughts?

    @dskogg

    Nice Work David! I'm a little bit disappointed you skipped the vertical tile trim...and it looks like there should be an escutcheon for the shower head at the wall...

    Ha ha... I know... you how hard it was to just do this.... I was trying to show the shower door correctly but I couldn’t figure out how to..

     

    it’s a black rail sliding dbl door.. how to do it?

     

    i hope my Tiler doesn’t freak when I show him this to do...

    Ok guys...i drew hexagons on wall, converted to polyline solids, blocked and inserted on wall...

    Used polyline solids and material wall surface for black grout behind...

     

    I have a pushed back shower shelf so i had to do back wall twice and remove tiles above shelf..here is the result..

    Client has signed off on design....it should be close to this in end...i will post pictures once complete...

     

    Also might use some matte white tiles near top to give it a little more depth.

    @dskogg Make sure to tag me if you'd like my input, otherwise I just happen upon mention by chance.
    I'm almost always going to approach these types of things through materials. I can do it much faster that way and control texture and grout thickness roughness, opacity etc.

    wow.. i will be sure to tag you Rene, so how did you achieve this? My tiles are wavy like this too...

    2 questions:

    1.  Why do you feel the need to convert to a symbol?  You could pretty easily leave those as freestanding objects and just create an Architectural Block if anything

    2.  Why can't you paint the tiles after converting to a symbol? 

    Hi Michael, not sure why i made it a symbol, but when i did once i tried painting one tile say of white it painted all the white tiles.

     

    For some reason i had a mixture of polyline solids and polylines and i could not group select and convert to block, i got rid of the polylines and then did group select and block but

    i drew these flat and need them for wall surface, how would i rotate them to vertical now?

    Hi All you chiefers I need your help...I have this shower i want to use a hex tile and make an organic pattern.

     

    What i have done is make a polyline and duplicate until i have an entire space filled up, turn them into

    polyline solids and then using paint tool i adjust each tile to get the pattern, then i turned this into a symbol.

     

    Inserted symbol into plan and then i was going to add a wall material region in a thinner section to represent grout.

     

    Only thing is this is laborious and i can't adjust tiles to different colours once i have made them a symbol.

     

    Any and all suggestions? Rene?
