mtldesigns Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 This is not a CHIEF question at all, and sorry for using this forum in advance, but many experts on here. Client wants a German Smear facade on her brick.. the modeling part is easy, but how in the world would I communicate this on a drawing? The 2D pattern is brick. Would this just be a note to smear the brick with a mortar compound afterwards for the German affect? Attached is screen grab of model exterior.

Chopsaw Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 How about a watercolor or standard view elevation for that wall since it looks like you have the texture figured out. Then at least the note would make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmejerry Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Maybe attach a few different photos and a note. You could also include Joanna Gaines' from Fixer Upper phone number and she could give them detailed instructions lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javatom Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 She would just tell them to switch the siding to ship lap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtldesigns Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 I knew you all had ideas.. :-) A picture is worth a thousand words, and that's what I will do. And if you have Joanna's number, pass it on, the misses would love to call her. YES, there is ship lap in this house and now the one I live in....

DavidJPotter Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 There are SO many variations of this term, a sample that they pick out is essential, that image could then be added to the plans: https://www.pinterest.com/explore/german-smear-technique/?autologin=true DJP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtldesigns Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 That's exactly what I did.. placed a rendered view on layout sheet, with a CYA note for home owner to verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
