    Material regions?  Well done

    Yes. Fast and simple. One more tip: I place material regions (used as battens) on their own layer so they match the pattern line settings in layout.

    @OldBarnDesign 3d solids are the most reliable for stability within Chief. I used rafters, then turned off the automatic height and raised them in the z-axis. Rafters provide the ability to be edited in plan view using CAD tools. But, occasionally they can move (seemingly on their own). When using rafters, they should be one of the last things done prior to rendering. Just my experience anyway!

    Great materials on this! Did you have to manually model the standing seams on the metal roof? What about the board and batten?

    Hi Cody, neither of those would have to be modeled manually, however that is what I did. It's a small thing that makes a big difference!
