Good day! I have searched to no avail... would someone kindly educate me how to create a different color border plank on my deck designs? I love the functionality to automatically create mitered and herringbone borders, but want to color them differently from the deck body. Is there an easy fix or do I need to draw these manually? Thanks in advance! Steve Scharf Chief X7, Win 10

Thanks evergreen & cjspud. These appear to be workable solutions. Playing with them now. Much thanks!

Pretty much. The only difference is that one end of the surround remains open (like a big "L)... the gate would be on the long wall. Silly design requirement. Can you help me understand how you modeled this?

Please help! I'm trying to model an HVAC wall surround/corral. Homeowner needs visualization. I've had great luck modeling houses, additions, & decks, but this little project has stumped me. I'm trying to create a 5' tall (from ground level) wall to surround the exterior HVAC equipment. The wall would be "L" shaped and attached to the house. I would like to model this with & without a gate (long side of the "L"). I have tried this both by creating exterior walls and fences, but cannot achieve the desired end results... can only achieve incomplete results. I could have hand drawn it by now. Details: 1. Walls framed with 4x4 pressure treated posts & 2x4 pressure treated lumber. Bottom of wall would be 4" above ground level (obviously, 4x4 posts protrude down into ground). 2. OSB sheathing 3. Exterior wall material is lap siding 4. Interior wall material is 4x8 Hardie 5. I want to picture frame exterior walls with 1x6 boards (lap siding runs inside this) 6. Need a 1x8 cap board across the top of the wall. 7. Would like rendering to show 4" gap between ground and bottom of framed wall. 8. Not sure how to model the gate/door... is it a door? is it a fence gate? POA restrictions for this project require gate to have same characteristics as the wall (lap siding) so it blends in. Can anyone provide direction to help me with this? Thanks in advance!
